It reminds me of my own childhood a bit. Part melancholic memory, expressed in a growing fondness for pop music, and airplanes droning high up in the air, which is my first memory of contemplating infinity. I also wondered if those planes were full of soldiers going off to the war! Thanks for the link ( a peek over your shoulder)! Nicely written. It reminds me of my own childhood a bit.

Canadian cars at one time had these plastic shields on their inner windows that created little "envelopes" of air to prevent the side glass from frosting over. They looked like little portholes. Anybody that grew up as far north as I did wondered why American cars didn't have them. It took a long time for our windows to defrost. I am surprised that Steve Smith doesn't come up with a way to put these on modern cars for the Red Green show. I might just write him a letter with that suggestion. I didn't know any Red Greens. I did know a few Harolds, though.

I don't know what it means to be an American myself, and am still culling through the chaff of it all to at least grab one or two things about it that make sense. But about Canadian radio? That's actually the BBC from Britain, right? Um....and isn't everyone up there related to Red Green? GHe knows a thing or two about chrome lined dashboards! Khan: Lucky you--born under the loving wings of Joe McCarthy...What sticks out at you about the era? You were just old enough to avoid the draft by absconding to Canada in '68, right?

I had watched funeral trains, peace marches, violence in the streets, helicopters over Vietnam dropping napalm and wondered what it really means to be an American. I am still not sure, but we have had some great music to help us try to sort it out. I am sure it is only a little ironic that the music I heard came from a Canadian radio station, right?
