Reply #55: that song brings tears to my eyes

[Qanisqineq]

Not because it is bad, or because I'm terribly patriotic. I like the song because it reminds me of my dad before depression. I was a kid when that song was out and he would always sing along to it. Then --boom-- depression. Maybe something happened that I was not privy to, I don't know. He just seemed to spiral down and it hasn't let up in about thirty years. And he stopped singing or playing guitar, too.

So, for that reason, that song and "Rhinestone Cowboy," and some other oldies he liked to sing/play guitar to, bring tears to my eyes for the memories. Unfortunately, they are kind of crappy songs. :)
