Ain’t That America?
By Tammy Derouin
I can only think of one place in today’s entertainment
industry where part of a performance would involve a gigantic American flag. How about a gigantic American flag made of
lights, proudly displayed as the backdrop on stage? Not only did the Country Music Awards
acknowledge our flag as a positive, the first several songs acknowledged this
great nation in which we live. Ain’t
that America?
The entertainment industry and I parted ways a long time
ago. Music was the first casualty. I was a teenager in the 1980’s so when the
radio stations changed their tunes and the sound I loved disappeared, I stopped
listening.
Television began to fall out of my nightly routine. Investigative news programs disappeared as fluff
replaced substance. Good shows were hard
to come by as so called reality shows replaced drama. Well thought out storylines transformed into
plots of how to bring out the worst in human behavior. Is it any wonder the younger generation doesn’t
get it? They grew up not only watching
bad behavior but they watched as bad behavior was encouraged. The government’s bad behavior is the accepted
reality in our transformed country...
