Ain't that America for you and me? / An't that America something to see, baby? / Ain't that America home of the free, yeah? / Little pink houses for you and me / Oh yeah for you and me Ey! - JC Mellencamp "Pink Houses".

Thanks for bringing these slices of 'Murica, Dan. Love it (I do) or loathe it (sometimes, yeah) it's part of who I am an always will be.
