I am not saying you or I bring ourselves into this discussion, in fact, I would rather we remain as outsiders, observing the inward momentum.

I'm saying, look at what the basic momentum of the American existence is. What makes up the daily life of the majority of the leader of nations and then, only upon and objective analysis, recompute what a "simple" life is.

A smart phone is the first standard of living. You can compute from that point and project outwards.

Sounds like old Son house singin the blues....


This part of this song is so awesome!

https://youtu.be/CIdRFEVS0QU?t=137

The studio album he recorded with the Firebird actually sounds so tight and focused it's like a punch in the guts.


My brother and I learned all the parts to that song (and a bunch of the other Skynyrd songs) and took turns playing lead and rhythm guitars on that song all the time when were still kids! :3:
