Comment:

My acupuncturist closes his office on Fridays. That's his day to ride his motorcycle. Once I asked him why he likes to ride so much. It just seems a little out of character for a healer. He told me because it's the American dream - a Harley, the open road, and a good-looking girl on the back. I couldn't disagree, though I might substitute a Ferrari for the Harley.
To my way of looking at it, however, the American dream, for generations, is of a people who seek to move forward. A people who look at a mountain and worry not about the tough climb ahead, but dream about the view from the summit. I'd like to think the acupuncturist sees things that way, and I do as well.
So this mix was made for him and his bike on the open highway. Oh yeah, the hot girl on the back, too.
Quiz: For a copy of the mix, tracked with art, answer this: Fontella Bass of "Rescue Me" fame had a hand in one of the songs. Which one?

A people who look at a mountain and worry not about the tough climb ahead,
but dream about the view from the summit.

I agree, Mr. Sky. There are too many complainers out there, seeking the
government's help (wealth redistribution, 'reparations, welfare', entitlements). They don't
realize that the "view from the summit" is only truly appreciated once the hard
work of climbing is done. But triple & quadruple generation welfare families don't get that.

The "American Dream" used to embody opportunity, hard work & satisfaction of a job
well done. Earning that Harley/Ferrari is infintely better for the soul than having it given to you.
Some feel that work ethic is changing...for the worse. Now that dream resembles a handout as we
move towards societal socialization (a la Maxine Waters telling remarks before Congress last week).

Dreams are great. Goals & a plan to achieve those dreams are better...

...and this mix AND the babes, good awesome (on or off the bike).

I'm more into the Mexican dream, or Earthling Dream, but I do like your mixes.
