Years

I Was Raised In California During The Second World War And Into The '50s And Everything Was Fine, Everything Was Great. The Sun Always Shone, Everybody Looked Healthy And Wore Ties And Smoked In Restaurants, And There Were Cars For Everybody - Except Us, Because I Came From A Lower Class Neighbourhood. But [in France] I Realised There Was A Different Point Of View, So When I Came Back To America A Year And A Half Later I Was Much More Focused On My Own Country Culturally And Politically.
