Something Wonderful: Luke Bryan – Most People Are Good
byVanderleunonJanuary 15, 2018
I believe in everything Luke Bryan believes in, and I bet you do as well. If not, what’s stopping you? It’s a year into the most amazing turn-around in America in my lifetime. I know, I know, “tomorrow is not promised.” True, but today is in the bag.
I don’t know about your neck of the woods but where I live, for easily a hundred miles around, everybody is happier than they were a year ago. I’m finally going to take the hint and look to become happier with every passing day. You should too. Why not? The Win is In.
I’m happier in general than I remember being. It’s good.

“I believe you love who you love, ain’t nothing you should ever be ashamed of.”
Where have I heard that one before? What does he mean by love? Why are there two women in that frame? Mother and daughter? Sisters? Old friends? Forgive my negativity, but it seems a bit of doctrinaire reinforcement has been slipped into the video. Why not just let it slip past? Aren’t you ashamed for noticing and pointing it out? Just let it be, leave people alone, love is love and love is good, ya uptight sour fanatical scold. Why you gotta be like that? Because letting it slide is how we got from there to here.

Okay, maybe that’s a man, baby! at 3:08. Hard to tell. At any rate…

Matthew 6:34 is my favorite sustaining verse.

Yeah, Bunny, that’s an old guy. I don’t blame you for being sceptical.

That paen to mom and apple pie just had to sneak in a little social conditioning for the h8ers.

Amen…the time for turning the other cheek is past.
Gerard, I’m about three hours south of you in the lower foothills. People hereabouts never doubted we’d win and business is freaking booming. We left the East Bay five years ago and couldn’t be happier. To be honest, besides friends, I did miss three things; Yank Sing, Korean BBQ and Acme bread. So I learned to bake sourdough, make kimchi, grill a mean bulgogi, and we found a pretty good dim sim joint an hour’s drive away in the valley, so we’re good.

Glad to have my anecdotal observations confirmed from even further afield in CA. ACME? Yes, but Trader Joes has a fine pain compagna.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Great song. I just wish that everybody was really good. Ain’t so. Thanks. Joe Krill
Not a comment here! I want you to be aware of this opinion piece, Gerard. My six children are all valuable human resources. We large families have always been publicly shamed in this country.
