The idea concerns the fact that this country wants nostalgia
They want to go back as far as they can–
Even if it’s only as far as last week
Not to face now or tomorrow, but to face backwardsAnd yesterday was the day of our cinema heroes
Riding to the rescue at the last possible moment
The day of the man in the white hat or the man on the white horse
Or the man who always came to save America at the last moment
Someone always came to save America at the last moment
Especially in “B” movies
Gil Scott Heron, still bringing it every passing year. Whitey on the Moon, will make you think twice about just nearly everything.
