    Brilliant. I am 58 and have loved The Boss since I was a teenager. I had the great privilege of seeing him live once in the eighties. I have also loved Barak Obama for many years and had the great privilege of seeing him once when he was running for president. I was teaching Academic Writing at ASU at the time. The day he spoke on the ASU campus, I cancelled my classes and asked my students to attend and offered credit to anyone who wrote something about the experience. Many of them took attended and write about it. I felt instinctively that something very important was happening and wanted my students to witness history in the making. I took my young daughter and sat with her on the ASU library steps and watched Barak Obama speak to the crowd. will never forget that day. His presidency was profoundly important and history-making indeed. My daughter will be 23 next month, and she also vividly remembers the day we saw Obama speak. We have lived in Hawaii for 12 years now. My daughter has "tricked" lots of her friends about seeing Obama, who she actually saw in Tempe, Arizona instead of his and now our home state of Hawaii, which is in fact a part of the United States of America last time I checked. Hah! : ) Thank heaven for renegades like these two. Their friendship makes so much sense, and this story really highlighted that fact. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. : )

      @@GODHATESADOPTION I think that was an attempt on your part to sound smart, which failed, unfortunately. As I already revealed in my original post, I am a former university teacher. I have an MA and a PhD in English Literature. Additionally, I have been a licensed, non-denominational Christian minister for about 25 years, and I am a registered official for the state of Hawaii because I sometimes perform weddings free of charge, which is one of the many ways I am charitable, charity being a Christian virtue that I appreciate, respect, and practice regularly. I have, therefore, obviously read the Bible closely, unlike anyone who says that they have read it and cites it to sanction values that Jesus would have definitely opposed. Anyone who alludes to the Bible and cites it to sanction violence of any kind clearly missed the point. Perhaps you would be well served to re-read the parable of the Good Samaritan as told in the 4th Book of Luke. Martin Luther King had that story in mind when he went to Israel and visited Jerusalem, Jericho and other holy sites. The visit was memorialized in his 1968 "I Have a Dream" speech. He wisely used the story of the charitable Samaritan who helped a traveler from a different group than himself to appeal to people to look past race and see the human being underneath the skin color. People like you really test my Christian ethics because I loathe cruelty and violence of any kind against anyone on principles established by the life and work of Jesus Christ. Ignorance is understandable in that it just means not knowing. Stupidity is almost always willful and self-serving and generally at the expense of someone else. Enough already. As The Boss and the President astutely said, "we are not going back." Word. Accepting that reality will probably make your life easier and otherwise better than wasting it being hateful and resentful and resisting the inevitable. Aloha.

    Great story!!! Nicely done, this piece.
    As a journalist myself ( and an American patriot whose family served in the US Air Force ) based on recent times, we are all going to have to aspire toward creative people ( musicians/artists/writers outside of the political fields ) to inspire/install a new sense of influences to keep America progressing. It just can't be about Republicans versus Democrats or conservatives versus liberals let alone being divided because one group is " right " over another ( which, in several ways, is EXACTLY what our foreign enemies want ).
    If you watch this video, THIS is what we have to do to advance our way of life, our way of law, our way of Government: Work with new and continual creative energies, that doesn't include legislation or even political rallies, so that we all have peaceful reconciliation between each other. We can't keep being divided. It's just not healthy for all of us. We've lost enough credibility around the world simply due to chaotic decision making, not just after the events of 911 but especially during and after the January 6th insurrection. At some point, we have to stop the madness of chaotic decision making and regroup for the bigger picture ( " . . .in order to form a more PERFECT Union " as stated in the Preamble ). Frank Zappa himself once said " Progress is not possible without deviation from the norm. " Even though Zappa had many fine political points, he knew that America cannot survive without working together for our betterment.
    Hopefully, The President and the Boss continue to see the aforementioned and build on it to keep us all on the " sense of a common American story. "

Many of us have been witnessing this paternal vacuum for some time now, and now the toll being exacted is currently high and only our future offspring can desalinate the hate. Us adults living now have proven that we are quite incapable of taking on this challenge.
