    Like everything else in these United States, our history is being lost or altered beyond recognition.


    Isn't there a song with either the title or one of the lyrics expressing the lament "it's not the world I used to know"? That's exactly how I feel.

    Hi Stumpy, I agree with you. My family and I visited Tombstone in 1981 I think? Back then it still resembled the way it was 100 years ago. One thing I remember vividly was that there was a Saloon I went into and was able to order a Saspirilla. I thought it was the best drink I ever had. I ordered a 2nd Saspirilla and spoiled myself and did not eat dinner.


    Anyway, it is a shame at what is going on.

    Ditto Stumpy....I agree. Didn't things used to alot simpler or did it just seem that way because we were kids? I wish a lot of things from our yesterdays hadn't of changed. Here are some lyrics, I don't know if this is the song you are thinking of but I think it says the same things. It is Tim McGraw's Back When.



    Don't you remember
    The fizz in a pepper
    Peanuts in a bottle
    At ten, two and four
    A fried bologna sandwich
    With mayo and tomato
    Sittin' round the table
    Don't happen much anymore


    We got too complicated
    It's all way over-rated
    I like the old and out-dated
    Way of life


    Back when a hoe was a hoe
    Coke was a coke
    And crack's what you were doing
    When you were cracking jokes
    Back when a screw was a screw
    The wind was all that blew
    And when you said I'm down with that
    Well it meant you had the flu
    I miss back when
    I miss back when
    I miss back when


    I love my records
    Black, shiny vinyl
    Clicks and pops
    And white noise
    Man they sounded fine
    I had my favorite stations
    The ones that played them all
    Country, soul and rock-and-roll
    What happened to those times?


    I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
    Cause they put pop in my country
    I want more for my money
    The way it was back then

    Give me a flat top for strumming
    I want the whole world to be humming
    Just keep it coming
    The way it was back then

    Thanks for the song, Sis. That's not the song I was thinking of but it has the same sentiments. And I agree with them wholeheartedly.


    I came of age in the Fifties and until the day I die, I shall always think of that decade as the "Golden Years" because for me at least, life then was wonderful and so much simpler.

    I've searched my memory and if I remember correctly, the song I'm thinking of was sung by a folk singer named Glenn Yarbrough back in the early Sixties. It seems to me that Glenn Campbell and Jimmie Rodgers also had songs with the same title and during the same time frame.
