Time for a little musical red meat for election week, as suggested by my brother.

This was on the radio in Oklahoma frequently during the election year of 1980. (On election night, we were at a hockey game in downtown OKC with Dad, and the entire arena stood and cheered when they announced Reagan’s victory. “In America” played over the p.a.)

I admit I’m late to the party, y’all. I didn’t want him to be the nominee. For a while, I didn’t think he’d win.

    I haven't heard this song in over thirty years, but I played it so much when I was a kid I still know the lyrics.

    Thank You for reminding Me.
