The Song That Sold America to a Generation of Asian Immigrants
The Song That Sold America to a Generation of Asian Immigrants Jason Jeong © History Colorado / The Atlantic A fixture of saccharine Super Bowl commercials and orthodontists’ waiting rooms across the country, John Denver’s platinum record “Take Me Home, Country Roads” turned 50 years old last month. Kitschy, yet earnest; dated, yet eternal. In its terse descriptions of bucolic West Virginia “Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze” the gentle folk tune can conjure nostalgia for a place you’ve never visited and a life you’ve never lived. It’s as classically American as a McDonald’s apple pie; an ode to an uncomplicated vision of the United States.
