Played this on 8-track in back of a pickup with a canopy.....2 a.m. going fishing with dad in the 70's......dad's 84 birthday was 8-30-2023 he's the only one left besides me.😢

[@Otokichi786]

One Summer day in 1969 or 1970, The Steve Miller Blues Band was getting ready to play the first concert song. I heard the drummer wonder aloud if the audience "would be offended" at the song. Introduced as "Your Old Lady," I found it on LP as "Living In The U.S.A.," which wasn't offensive at all.;)

[@olly8]

My 'old lady' was a term of endearment, back in my day✌🏼

[@colocopper8464]

I got the Sailor album sometime around 1971-73 and my friends & I wore the grooves out of this song.

[@darrensiegel6651]

Steve Miller has got to be one of the most under appreciated artists of all time.

his first five albums, for sure

[@jamesshuel1519]

We just saw him in concert in New Hampshire. He was GREAT.8/2022 pnss

Having worked in HOLLYWOOD for over 40 years, I have to congratulate you on your great creative editing... I worked with many an Oscar winning editor, and they'd be very proud of your work, on this USA salute and the MIDNIGHT COWBOY montage. Wonderful work, and the right selection of music editing to the beat!

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Great video, great song! When I was a DJ in the 90s this was my outro...

[@duncanidaho2097]

By far his best song IMHO. Video showing video clips of the mobile-freedom culture and related movie clips. Many of that generation were convinced that we were living in a “plastic” land, as opposed to most of the rest of the world in poverty and class separated societies. What decries in the song was the culture that allowed more freedom and prosperity than any other.

[@PeterKKraus]

What the song decries..

[@duncanidaho2097]

@@PeterKKraus -Yes. What he or the song decries. That’s what I get when in a hurry. Thanks.

[@metronorthwtrain1452]

Almost a prophetic statement for today. Living in a plastic land. Best song by Steve by far. I remember a long time ago looking at the songs on Greatest Hits and Living in the USA wasn't on it. Put the album down and walked away. Just how?

I thought that was Morrison also. It may not have been Many guys in that era imitated his post-Dade County look.

The rays from this beacon, lighting this gateway to the continent, will welcome the poor and the persecuted with the hope and promise of homes and citizenship.
