I understand your feelings about living abroad, they are much the same as mine though I left UK more from a need for adventure than anything else - and my job of course. Here in Hong Kong, I am a permanent resident and can vote accordingly. But, due to recent electoral rule changes and China's intrusion, we can only vote for who we are told to, so we don't bother any more. Nevertheless, we live in hope that change will come one day. Having said that, it's a great place to live and have no regrets about being here. Funnily enough, I have a much stronger sense of belonging now than I ever did in the UK !
Fantastic piece, Tony. Very little in the way of post-Nebraska Bruce has the power to move me, but this song certainly does. (And you know I’m right there with you on all the other stuff.) Keep on keeping on, my friend.

Hi Ben, all very interesting and thanks for sharing. You have also given me an idea for another post, so doubly appreciated.

Thanks Dan. I'm glad this song connects also with those very much born in the USA.
