. . . on route 66. Somewhere in the mists of our minds, that phrase must still dwell. Of course, it is a remnant of a USA that existed long ago in a time when things were not as complex as they are now for that country. The song and the promise that it portrayed still lingers in the psyche of the USA, and also for many who have never lived there, or, perhaps, even been there. The tune conjures up cruising down an impossibly long two-lane highway in a convertible top automobile, hair flailing in the breeze. Back then, it might have been a 1957 Chevrolet, or a Ford Mustang. Of course, the cars weren’t all that reliable compared to today, and some of the roads have seen better days, but it was an evocative period in time that had its pluses.
