I know Pat wrote this song long before any of the current political madness we are experiencing began, but the meaning and purpose of the title becomes more relevant every day. |

patsfan : I am very impressed that President Biden got right to work on day one and addressed many of the issues
that have been ignored for the last four years. I loved seeing the pile of Executive Orders to reverse many of Trump’s
actions. There is still a great division in the US, but a lot of Trump’s followers are jumping ship.
I am 66 years old and 2020 was the worst year of my life and it didn’t have to happen the way it did. I am holding out
hope that once again we will be the United States instead of the Divided States. Jazz unites and I can’t wait for the
return of live Jazz.

Marc ...: I’ll echo your words and more !! I fear for the soul of our country, the lack
of respect for truth and honesty. I’m afraid I’ve never seen it this bad in my 80 yrs .
The next generation has so many hurdles, even beyond global warming and nuclear
warfare etc etc

patsfan : The day The Capitol Building was stormed I working and I didn’t watch the news until the next day. I was
tempted to turn of the audio and put on the movie soundtrack with Pat and David Bowie version of This Is Not
America or the Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra instrumental version. No matter whether you identify as a
Democrat or Republican if you are a true American, I was shocked by what happened. This is not America and this is
not Democracy.

Hambone, I’ve been thinking a lot about Pat’s and David Bowie’s album. ....and
thinking how ...25 years later ... it is the best fitting title for our times. 75percent of
Republicans still think the election was rigged. ( Newsweek Poll). This is NOT
America. !!!,

Great comment, hambone! I was just thinking about the relevance of that song
title yesterday. It’s gonna take a lot to heal us and Pat’s music at this time sure
helps.
