This thread oddly reminds me of a favorite song of mine right now (by JOE Henry)
http://www.actionext.com/names_j/joe_henry_lyrics/our_song.html
(a portion)
>>I saw Willie Mays
at a Scotsdale Home Depot
Looking at Garage Door Springs
At the far end of the 14th floor
His wife stood there beside him
She was quiet and they both were proud
I gave them room but was close enough
That I heard him when he said out loud
This was my country
This was my song
Somewhere in the middle there
Though it started badly and its ending wrong
This was my country
This frightful and this angry land
But it’s my right if the worst of it might still
Somehow make me a better man
