"American Woman" question and a little story..

[Zebson]

I know this is a completely off course non-asian oriented side story...But I was just playing some old favorites..This great old song came on from, "The Guess Who". Does anyone know any history behind this song?...Of course I grew up in the late sixties, early seventies. Anyone who did, knows this song well. Everytime I hear this song, I am reminded of a time in my early tweenties when I woke up in the middle of the night to a woman screaming at a guy, turns out it was the middle aged couple living accross the street going at it, which finally resulted in car tires screeching down the street...As I thought it was all over I headed back to bed, but minutes later this guy must have cranked his stereo system full bore, and sure enough "AMERICAN WOMAN" belted out loud and clear....I remember laughing to myself and thinking how appropriate. That night and that song were locked in memory ever since.

As a precursor to being judged an AW basher, I really wasn't trying to rip on the American women with this story and inquiry....so much as to find out some history. Have a nice day all..

in your closet, in your bed!!!

Hey Lori,

I love you!! Forget about Thai! Why don’t you come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride!

ROTFLMAO!

You fly high and go meet Thai, you Freeeeeebird!

 Really, all the best. Your story is one I am looking forward to hearing. It’s
Very interesting and different. Plus you seem like such a sweet and cool lady. That post about saving for your trip really touched me. I’ve been there.

I hope you know how much support you have on this board.

Does the underwear "blow"?  Or rather, has it "blown"?

This is just a corny pun that I think a select few will appreciate.  Ha-Ha!

Was that a song, or just some nice poetry?

sorry Zeb, that was supposed to be posted under Jays message. It's the continued lyrics to Metallica's "Enter Sandman"

Hi Zebson,

I just heard an interview recently with the guy in the Guesss Who that wrote this song. He said that it was not an anti-war (Vietnam), or anti- American song, just that they disliked American women, so that’s why they wrote it.

Personally, I don’t believe that as no American woman I know has their own “war machines”  or “getto scenes”. I always’s travel with a walkman, and have a special song picked-out for take off from the west coast. I like to pick a song that is relavent. Usually it has been, “Enter Sandman” by Mettallica, (“take my hand……we’re off to never, never land!), but in Oct. ’94 when I left the U.S. it was “American woman” by the Guess Who. I wasn’t planning on ever living here again and was not being anti-American, just anti-“what America had become”. Politically correct etc..

Jay
P.S.- don’t flame me folk’s, I AM NOT anti- American. I even have an American flag hanging in my house. Very PROUD to be American, although the scene here now is even worse than it was in ’94. Just my OPINION.

Jay, where did you go back then? I have been out of the States so many times now I lost count. After three passports and 20 years later, I haven't changed my perspective either, I to will always love America. I think at times people often forget that it's the power of our liberty that allows us to intelligently scrutinize the problems areas of this country.
