Yeah, Reagan versus Mondale was one of the most media-determined elections in my life. The lack of any space for anything other than “Let’s get this done fast, Red Dawn rah rah shit, also lets just give rich people whatever they want.” It was sharply shittified stuff continually remarked upon on NPR until they got rid of the seventies leftists there too.

Wow! I grew up listening to CCR and I can still hear so many of their songs clearly in my head. It’s unbelievable that they did all that in such a short time. I would’ve guessed they were playing at least a decade or more. But apparently all their albums and songs were between May 68 to April 72, just a little over 3 years!
