I don't know this place.

Simon & Garfunkel started looking for America back in the '60s.  They woke up and it felt different, smelled different, looked different, and they got on the bus to find it.  There was something in the air.  They didn't know this place.  And they had this revelation that they weren't the only ones.  A cultural shift was happening.  Their America was disappearing.  And now it is totally gone.  I'm with these guys.  I don't know this place.  But, I am beginning to see how it happened.   Do you see the puzzle pieces?  This is a gradual breakdown decades in the making.  But, I repeat: I don't know this place. This isn't MY America.  I only wish I could hop a bus, buy a ticket, and get to where I want to go.  My America.
