John Mellencamp on yesterday’s KQ Morning Show, talking about why the US prospered so much during the Baby Boom’s childhood:
(paraphrasing very closely)
During World War II, we bombed everyone else back to the Stone Age! That’s why we prospered! There was no competition!

Ah, well. We’ll always have Scarecrow and Lonesome Jubilee.
