America sucked... Carter was in office. We were in decline. But here we have Oakland, Ca.

[sirhrmechanic]

Was just a bit too young to have seen them live... (wasn't about to go to see the redux.)

But no matter how fucking sucky America might seem at any one time, there are millions of good Americans. who are going to celebrate how awesome America is!



Yup, most of them are Grandmothers now. But damn... look at how they loved an American Icon while the rest of America burned under Carter and the post-Watergate Malaise.

Gives me hope that our best days are ALWAYS still ahead of us!

And if that was not enough to make you say 'Merika...

There is this...

And then there was this... the song that I could not stop playing summer 1980...

[sirhrmechanic]

And just one more to remind us that no matter how bad things seem... there are great Americans out there...

It's not a party here no matter the age of the host without some Skynyrd and Hank. Charlie Daniels grew up 20 minutes from the farm so southern outlaw country/rock is a given.

Dont be so hard on Carter. Under his admin, nothing was too good for the military...and that's what we got.
