the song "coming to America" moved me even when I was a clueless liberal college student. The thought of it makes me misty now. However, I thought Mr. Diamond had gone on record as just another liberal arteest. Am I wrong?
I do not know his political leanings or beliefs. I have not heard him come out against this President or the WOT. However, his statement just before he sang this song was that this country has been, is, and always will be a shining beacon of light for those who want a better way, and the world is much better off with America. When it came out in 1979-80, it also moved me. I was not a liberal but I was not a strong conservative as I am today. I thought it was a great patriotic song - on par with Over There.
