Illegal immigration is a hot political issue today. Here's a song on that subject that was a local hit in LA.

I always thought that the album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was aimed at teeny-boppers.

This song doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it was one of the biggest hits of the 1920's, by the most popular singer of the decade.

The Prisoner's Song--Vernon Dalhart (1925)

"Springsteen was at his best when he had to WORK HARD."

Sure was! Man, how he'd go all over that stage, no opening act, and the feelings and stories he put in his songs- Now, too mainstream and too political. Too bad...

Prayers still up for Mom and you! Good night, and God bless! ((Hugs))
