Yes, America was great...when people cared about each other, when they thanked God and the Democratic Party for Social Security and Medicare. They were not filled with fear of their own government. No Fox News with a constant diet of hateful rhetoric to make people crazy. The middle class was not a dying breed. Neighbors came out and talked to each other, told stories about the good times they treasured and the hard times they had survived. When people agreed to disagree. And it was OK.
@Thistlesifter220 ... funny thing is, you and I might disagree completely about what has been lost, and about what was great, but yeah, I have to agree with you. A lot has been lost. A lot has been pissed away.
Yet another nice one by Chet. I still think as much of him as I did when I bought "Guitar Country" 40 odd years ago. A real genius and a nice guy to boot. Cheers, Les.
You are the BEST Doug.
When I look for Chet's music, I go to your channel first.

@MKC1948 Now we talk to random strangers about or frustrations online, but that's okay too.
