Cause I gotta tell you Danny Boy, a lot happened between the 70s and today. A lot changed, for the worse, and you seem to have been unable to either SEE or HEAR things like American's purchasing power going down the drain, wages for the bottom 95% going down the drain, small town American going down the drain, et cetera.
Your REALLY had a knack for not telling us about the shit that was affecting The People and you KNEW, you lying bastard! you knew THIS was to come.
