Well, at least there's plenty of watermelon, fried chicken, potato chips and Budweiser to be had in almost any burg in this godforsaken place.

And here''s a little souvenir from home:

I should explain that the Shep clip is in five parts -- hard to tell from the youtube listing.

Here's a great piece of American music, sung by Paul Robeson, Ballad for Americans:
