I’ve had the opportunity to interview my governor, a childhood football hero, and some amazing people helping others in need, but I had n’t had the opportunity to interview someone as renowned as Pat Boone until last week.

In a career that has spanned 70 years, Boone has seen and done it all, but he has n’t stopped yet. He’s up with a new one at the age of 90 that stocks his desire for a divided America. ” Where Did America Go”? shows Boone’s desire for the rules that have united us for centuries to be restored.
Boone wrote his fresh one after seeing what’s going on in the U. S. now. He took inspiration from Bob Dylan’s” Blowing in the Wind” as his source of inspiration when writing something that was n’t partisan or denigrated on either side. He initially wanted to co-write with Dylan, but the fabled folkie’s touring schedule did n’t allow them to work together.
Boone co-wrote his music with Michael Lloyd, who even produced the report. Tom Rosen and past Paul McCartney and Wings guitar Laurence Juber both joined Boone.
” We’re divided socially. We’re divided philosophically. We’re divided morally”, Boone said, and he discussed America’s historic moral and political wiring. Evoking Alexis de Tocqueville’s popular speech that” America is wonderful because America is good”, he added,” And that was that was a fact. And so as we worked together and gave each other the honor of being just as people and important as we are, any of us, through battles, depressions, and all kinds of items, we grew into great through it all.

According to Boone, the Bible and the Constitution are the two sources where we can get the rules that America needs to return to. ” They are closer together and more connected than most people realize”, he attested. Because it serves as the foundation for the ideas of freedom, we must return to the Bible as a whole.

One column in the music,” Can one generation remove a great country”? sounds Ronald Reagan’s popular offer,” Freedom is never more than one century apart from death”. He compared the far-left influences that have permeated our society to a pathogen that can wreak havoc on a person’s health.
” The socialists, as they were coming on into this country, they said,’ If we get into these colleges, in one technology we can alter the region,'” he said. ” They have learned how to penetrate, and it’s almost like spiritual and moral means”.
Boone claimed that he wanted to spread this message to so many people because he is aware that his “hourglass does n’t have that much sand left” and that he wants things to improve in our nation and society. He claimed that his hope for America is that a catastrophic event like 9/11 wo n’t bring us back together.
When I asked him what advice he had for nationalist Americans, he mentioned the new Olympics. Scottie Scheffler’s weeping during the national anthem and Steph Curry’s singing the song on the prize floor, among the players who had worked difficult and won golden for the United States, both struck him as the most poignant.

” We’re not good enough to reach perfection on our own, athletically or socially or even morally”, Boone mused. ” But we’re all mortal people trying to head in the right way. And America is the nation, with its victories, rights, and victories that have allowed us to continue to address our personal issues.
I could n’t resist enquiring about Boone’s opinion of how the process of recording and listening to music has evolved over the course of his career. He claimed that technology now makes it simpler to correct mistakes in the studio than to record take after take until you find the best one, as he had to do in the earlier part of his career. At the same time, he lamented that so much of today’s music is n’t uplifting or positive.
” Audio was meant to elevate”, he said. ” Song was meant to be a good effect. It was supposed to encourage home, ideals, good things, and not degenerate into something that promotes trash, immorality, every kind of crime that is, and enjoy it”.
Boone is working on other genres as well, and he even gave me a specimen of one of his most recent tracks. He stated to me that he hopes that people may perform his more recent songs in parishes so that people can benefit from his music.
Lastly, I enquired about Boone’s secret to longevity because I’d like to look and sound just as good in 40 years. He chalked it up to the essentials like fresh life, exercise, and diet. He views his condition as one of the many gifts that God has given him.

” God gave me — and my mother and father gave me — a solid figure, and I have treasured that much just like my other riches”, he said. ” I want to make the most of them and put their great use in it.”
