THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT GROWING UP PAST THE BOONDOCKS , AND BEYOND THE STICKS, WHERE YOU COULD LISTEN TO BURL IVES , KATE SMITH, LORETTA YOUNG, SGT PRESTON OF THE YUKON , SKY KING, AMOS & ANDY AND SUCH PROGRAMS ON AM OR WORLD BAND RADIO , UNTIL THE GRAIN AND HOG REPORTS CAME ON AGAIN . WE AND OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS ENTERTAINMENT AND CULTURE BACK THEN .
@EthanFTW11 no it isn't it's the cigarette trees; at least it is in the other 99 versions of the great song on youtube. some useless idiots somewhere along the line deemed it necessary to sensor classic American folk songs lest we tarnish the minds of their darling little innocent monsters.
@bertskoi My GOD! There must be something wrong with your very soul speaking ill of precious little children that way. Your comment should be reported and you should be banned from Youtube and Earth. Seriously, I could not agree with you more. Child worship (as Carlin called it) has gone way too far.
So dear to my heart <3
