Song of the Week
November 6th, 2008
This song is perfect for this week. Merle wrote the song during the dark days of the late Carter administration. The times were rough, as they are now. It is eerily appropriate.
This song is special to me. My wife and I try to live a simple life, and this song represents our simple American values. All we want to do is have a good life, get ahead a little, and raise our kids, and hopefully leave the world better than we found it. We love our country, and want to preserve it. We mourn the passing of a better time, that neither of us new. The time before the county’s innocence was lost, and the hippies ruined everything.
The song does end on a high note however. This period shall end on a high note as well, as long as we do as Merle instructs.
“Are the Good Times Really Over?” - Merle Haggard
