This is an unusual edition of the Big Show, which this week explores the whole notion of . . . home.
Was Thomas Wolfe right in his posthumous 1940 novel, You Can’t Go Home Again? And what if you can’t go home again — sometimes — even when you never left?
And have you ever had the sick feeling that the country you call home suddenly feels like it’s anything but? You thought you knew your country . . . your people. But what if you were mistaken?
Yep. That's where we're going this time on 3 Chords & the Truth.
And . . . what about the American Dream? What about your hopes and expectations for your home — your life, your family, your place, your country?
As Bruce Springsteen wrote, "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?"
IN DONALD TRUMP'S Amerika, are you still feeling like you’re at home? What if your dreams are crashing down around you?
We have questions this week on the Big Show. Maybe we do or we don't have answers, but we sure have a lot of music to make you think.
I don’t care who you are, there’s one constant in this vale of tears: One way or another, nothing will break your heart like home. Yet home is what we always yearn for.
It's the damnedest thing.
It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
