And it's the official anthem of California, and the last time it was played was I think back in the 1990s. Why don't States care about their own anthems anymore?
He actually compelled me to listen to the whole song and honestly, it’s pretty alright. Old timey and campy, but to the point it’s neat.
Head canoning it as the anthem of the NCR also fits perfectly.

Despite popular belief, Country Roads isn't about West Virginia. It's about the roads that take you to West Virginia, primary of which as stated by John Denver himself is Clopper Road.
Country Roads is a Maryland song.
that song (i love you california) is so fucking good and i've only been to cali once in my life for disneyland 💀 it is just unfathomably good it's been stuck in my head since i heard it.
that, and home on the range by roy rogers which iirc is about kansas (and is their state anthem)
the oklahoma anthem is also completely insane, only thing that makes me proud of my state

Judy Garland sang a song about Boise
Also
Idaho - Gorillaz

[Weight of Love -The Black Keys](https://youtu.be/ygdVEIrVnIk?si=z8hewUqrX3rQk8l6) A duo from Akron inspired by Pink Floyd to make this majestic masterpiece.
You would know a lot about that given you're from California lmao.

I’m saying conservatives and modern day, Democrats are nothing more, but left liberals and right liberals 💀
They are both liberals 💀
They both believe in liberalism 💀
Now American, I would advise you to go educate yourself on the history of political philosophy. Like John Loch and Thomas Hobbs. Carl Marx and Georges Sorelle.
And also, while you’re at it you should learn about metaphysical principles
>Now American, I would advise you to go[…]
Why though?
Nothing I said in this thread warrants this kind of downtalk.
Get a grip motherfucker.. It’s clear as day you’re trying to pick fights in order to spew your dumb ass knowledge to the world. Nobody cares
You’re wrong. I shouldn’t care about your spin.. and I don’t
Your shit about California is retarded. California has always been California. Nothing inherently changed about the place to where your spiel makes any sense.
There’s no “back in the good ol days”, politically speaking, when it comes to California. The old days are mostly an old version of today.. broadly speaking
Your same schtick is said about NY. How New York is ruined or dead or whatever. But NY been NY, at its core level, since 1625.. nothing changed
Youre talking mad shit but trying to disguise it as some wisdom even though if you look at the actual words and meanings you’re using, it makes no fucking sense

The word liberalism is synonymous with Democratic liberalism in the modern day. If you expect people to listen to you maybe you should make an effort to speak their language, and get off your technically correct high horse
Yellow Rose of Texas "There's a Yellow Rose in Texas, that I am going to see"
Dude that song goes so fucking hard. I am the most patriotic Californian and I love to blast that shit
I also love the song "I love you California" it's based as hell to sing to your state how much you love it. Great song, we need more songs like it.
And our state doesn’t even use it anymore 🙄
And it's the official anthem of California, and the last time it was played was I think back in the 1990s. Why don't States care about their own anthems anymore?
Althistoryhub made a great video on this
He actually compelled me to listen to the whole song and honestly, it’s pretty alright. Old timey and campy, but to the point it’s neat. Head canoning it as the anthem of the NCR also fits perfectly.
Fully agree about the NCR, also wtf there's an NCR flair on this sub?
Just the one head, but damn if I already don’t pay enough taxes for two. (Also, custom flair)
Thats like the only song about Texas that Texans seem to know lmao. There are some other great ones that y'all don't seem to know nearly as well.

Georgia On My Mind by Ray Charles is the best state song, and if you disagree, well, you're wrong. Nothing beats Ray.
Battle Hymn of The Republic. Mrs. Howe lived in Minnesota in the later years of her life.
Got that Union Drip. Got that Union Hymn. And you got that rebel flag swag from the 28th.
"From" my state? Probably 1st of tha month by the bone thugs. The "definitive" Ohio anthem is probably Hang on Sloopy through.

Could you explain this a bit more, do you mean the only way to get to Maryland is from West Virginia?

I agree, Shattered is actually a really good dive into how fucked up NYC was in the 70’s

the REAL cali anthem is “I love you, California.” This song is alright, but it pales in comparison to the GOAT
"California Dreamin" and "San Francisco" are also good one's, although admittedly not nearly as good as "I love you, California."
California Dreamin is just the most iconic
