Come back with me almost 30 years to a time when it seemed, for a moment, like it was going to be OK. Social strife seemed low. People were closer to being people, not avatars of identity on 24 hour display.

Come back with me to a time when we still had a shared culture, and Madonna was beautiful.

Those days are over.

If you’re walking the road alone today, like me, this is for you.

She certainly was a rare beauty. Her voice is especially lovely in this song. Thank you for sharing it.

How far we've fallen. In every direction. To quote Merle Haggard "Are the good times really over for good?"
