Author Pat Fenton went on the road to find the America that singer and songwriter Harry Chapin wrote about.
âI have seen boarded-up movie houses, rusted railroad car diners, country churches, shuttered gas stations and crumbling factories on the edge of towns,â Mr. Fenton writes in the introduction to âSearching for Harry Chapinâs America: Remember When the Music,â published by Heliotrope Books.
âI have passed by old country cemeteries on hills at the end of towns with quarter moons hanging over them, farmers herding cows across two-lane highways; I have driven past bowling alleys that some people still go to on Saturday nights for fun, all of it like sequences from a Sunday morning comic strip of the â50s,â Mr. Fenton continues in the introduction.
In his short life, Harry Chapin was a singer, songwriter, activist and screenwriter
