Boomer Anthems: American Band
byVanderleunonFebruary 26, 2018
Once upon a time, this country knew how to party. Now we’ve got half of the nation interested in havin’-no-fun, chugging Tide pods, sacrificing their children to leftoid illusions, and riding everybody’s ass.
Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Was waitin’ for the band to return from the show
Feelin’ good, feelin’ right, it’s Saturday night
The hotel detective — he was out-a-sight
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan They was out to meet the boys in the band They said, “Come on, dudes, let’s get it on,” And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
We’re an American band We’re an American band We’re coming to your town, we’ll help you party it down We’re an American band

I note that many of those exuberant yoots are now unexuberantly dead.

What a great video! A couple of minutes viewing people I had not seen in years and its got my mind racing. No Trump, no Hilarity, no community orgasmers, just silliness. Damn, was I ever so innocent to make stuff like that seem normal?

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

I think that was JoAnne Worley with Elizabeth Montgomery.
That was fun!
Ahh, the archetypal question that separates all men into two groups, except for a few sneaky bastards:
Ginger, or
Marianne, or
embrace the power of and.
Marianne, 8 days a week.
Slam dunk! Marianne. No question, no how.
You sexist bastards. Ginger’s got the moves.
Ah, Fred Gwynne. Loved him.
Marianne, hiked up on all fours, undulating salaciously.
If only Mary Ann knew how to spell her name correctly. Just sayin’.
