George Foreman is a bad ass, cool, likeable, and smart. We need more people like him.


Maybe President Foreman ?
I remember all of these events as they happened.

I had recently been drafted into the Army.

I am also 74.
Lee Evans was a 400 meter monster. I saw him at a professional Track league event. Nobody outruns father time forever.

1968

Vietnam raging

lbj bedeviled by it and not running for re-election

mlk shot dead

rfk shot dead

the yippies, the sds and black panthers all descend on Chicago and riot at the dimocrat convention

the Olympic fist raising

george foreman and the flag

George Wallace ran as a 3rd party candidate and got 13.5 percent of the vote

elvis closing with "if I can dream" in his comeback special

and the indomitable human spirit and will is shown on Christmas eve, itself the day of promise, as the first humans orbit the moon

Born to Run is a nod to the great runners such as Edwin Moses and Lee Evans.

Born in the USA is a reference to the Lee Evans era.

What were you saying about studies?

Born in the USA is a Vietnam protest song. Nothing to do with the 60’s black power movement.
