The history of the United States is rather short, but it is worth studying. (How did the former British colonies grow so fast?)
The US history of the undergraduates mainly looks at these theories: fourth turning, great awakenings. And some odds and ends. I have watched and listened to many other documentaries, blogs and podcasts. I always feel that there is something very attractive about that era, that is, the era when the whole land is moving upward. And o brother where are thou is on the tail of that era. It's not like the decadence in "The Countryman's Elegy", nor is it like the triumphant progress of the Civil War. Classic ballads like man of constant sorrow were born in that era. There are my favorite singers: guthrie, seeger, and many others that I don't know about. Watching the bbc record Guthrie's film, I cried. I cried too watching this movie.
An indescribable feeling. johnny cash and bob dylan took the guitar, sneaked in the van, all the way west, the song drifted in the wheat field. In the end, George Nelson was all over the food market, and he was very happy. That part was really evocative. Lots of funny clips, but really touching.
Then, the tall man (the rival of one of the three kings) is upright.
Reminds me of 249's "Head of the Head": "Struggling to form a human form in the red dust, arguing and beating and supporting each other."
