No, this is not a record about the assassination of Lincoln or Kennedy (or Garfield or McKinley).
And someone needs to tell Trump that Dan Peek is dead, so America will never be GREAT again.
But we can still listen to their older music...and it is still pretty damned good.
America - History: America's Greatest Hits
America is awesome, and Rest in Peace Dan Peek, Co-founder of America.

Another one of my favorites, tried to dress up like them when I was a teen
I could still play and sing " Horse with no name " on my guitar but I love Sister's golden hair and Ventura Highway among their many hits, hooray America

Awesome, America has clearly lost its way and sooner people realize that, the better off we will be. No point in all this great music and great history of our first presidents and reenactments of shows like Turn, John Adams if no one is going to listen, yet statues are killing our history. Find it a bit amusing sad to say.

I guess they could hire a replacement for Dan Peek and record some more albums and go on tour, but it just wouldn't be the same. America will never be great again, I doubt they could even get a Top 40 single.

@JolietJake Is it not funny how it all ties together. Come on man has to make you smirk a bit. As long as you do not think about reality.

I hope you skip the first song on side two when you play this....
"Sister Golden Hair" is on my 100 favorites list.

That song about muskrats is actually what prevents me from calling it a 'perfect' album
