Just listening to Ventura Highway and it took me back to my childhood. American culture seemed to be more free and energetic back then. More youthful seeming. Probably just me getting older. Stoned though of the day.

Things stalled out in the early 2000s. Take a Time Machine to 2004 and it wouldn’t be that different at all.

If someone took a Time Machine from 1984 to 1964 it would be light years different.

Something has been lost on getting new content when we suddenly have all of popular content ever made, available at an instant on demand.

Exactamundo. (Everything feels "jammed up" or frozen. OR TRAPPED.)

This is exactly why I've been reminiscing and catching up n 20th century music and culture. Those who recall that feeling of "freeeeeeee" and "giddy-uppppp" can compare and contrast that vibe with the current vibe -- it's remotely not close and it's NOT our imagination and it's NOT about age, "Boomer".

There were hundreds of possibilities and endless opportunities. It feels very claustrophobic right now.

Yea man. We can tell.

Probably some of that good sativa stuff. Here in Louisiana you can get D-9 THC:CBD 2:5 ratio gummies legally. I love watching ballgames on them.

American culture has been replaced with the fake reality that Netflix and Amazon prime have foisted upon us- that our country is half lesbian, trans, minorities and evil white people. Our culture is stagnant because anyone willing to color outside the lines and take a risk is immediately identified and canceled.

People just want something to be angry and victimized about now. Life is too easy that it makes it hard.

Had this conversation with the wife tonight. We came to the conclusion that culture died(not peaked) around 2003. I blame social media.

I wonder how my kids are going to view this subject in 20 years. Are they going to be nostalgic about 2024 in the same way I am about 1995?

I have America as my title on Pandora. All the music from that era plays. I listen to it everyday and the nostalgia pangs hit me hard at times. We were so blessed back then. Even have my youngest daughter (no pics) on board. She tells me "Daddy, yall's music was the best".

I am rather dismayed how everyone in public looks like hammered shite. Unkempt. Dyed orange hair. Stupid tattoos. Obese. Slack jawed.
