29 Mar 02 - 09:24 PM (#679190) Subject: lyrics/song title/composer From: GUEST 25 years ago a friend played me an album. One tune had a chorus (or the fade out) which said: "Can you hear me Alaska, you are the country, you are the nation, you shall survive." (continuing with other states). There is the line "children in Montana learn the golden rule". Anyway, I've never been able to get it out of my mind -- and I've never been able to track it down. Anyone recognize this? And thank you beforehand. |

I think it was written about the time of the Watergate scandal and reflects the optimism of the post-Nixon era. Oh, that we had that optimism today... cj in NM |
