David Bromberg's song "Kaatskill Serenade" tells the story of Rip Van Winkle from the first-person perspective. The chorus is:

Where are the men that I used to sport with?
What has become of my beautiful town?
Wolf, my old friend, you don't even know me.
This must be the end; my house has tumbled down.
The last few months has been Rip Van Winkle. Instead of literally sleeping, life has stopped in all its work. Disconnected.
