When speaking of true Americans, people in recent times will come up with actors, celebrities, and rappers. When i think of the greatest American, i always come up with Harry Chapin. He perfected the American Dream in this song, he perfected the reason America is the land of the free. I am Canadian, and therefore harbour some small amount of dislike for America. But when i listen to this song, all i can do is stand in awe, of this man. Harry Chapin is a true hero.
Compared with Harry Chapin MOST other performers are nothing but corporate shills and whores selling their intellect, and their opinions, for Big Business.

It's funny, when you get that close it's kind of hard to hate.
Truer words were never spoken.

I still remember where I was when I heard Harry had died and it still makes me deeply sad. Still tops in my book, Harry.
