“America, for all of its associations with pain and its bloody history, has always been a place of incredible hope and optimism. To be American, and particularly to come from New York City, is to be blessed.” – Eric Bibb

Then the Missus ruined it for me forever by singing this:

This is what we call the Theme to Wagon Train.
