Part 2 - Conformity and Mediocrity

News Flash: The Baby Boom Generation is aging. One of the hallmarks of Boomerosity is an affection for merging music (especially 60s and 70s music). As the boomers age, many have turned inside out and become Republicans. It would be natural for the born-again GOPers to try to mix the tunes of their kidhood with their politics of today.

John Mellencamp's catchy tune, Pink Houses, is similar to Springsteen's message: one person's American Dream is another's insomnia.

Well there's a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin' rollin' station
Hes got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: "lord, this must be my destination
cuz they told me, when I was younger
Boy, you're gonna be president."
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went.

Oh but aint that america for you and me
Aint that america were someting to see baby
Aint that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

Sign me up right now! I want to vote Republican so that My America can be a Republican's vision for the USA.
