Important Takeaways:
- Pat Boone, the accomplished pop singer and devout Christian who first gained fame in the 1950s, released a song on Friday called “Where Did America Go?” that aims to be a wake-up call for all Americans to return to the country’s spiritual and constitutional roots.
- “That old Constitution / Still holds the solution,” Boone sings. “But we gave up our freedoms for sale.”
- Boone said in a Facebook announcement, “I don’t see how America can keep going in this way. I’m deeply concerned. We’ve got elections coming up, maybe they’ll make a difference. But I couldn’t wait, I just felt I had to do something like my friend Bob Dylan did when we were in similar states of confusion.” Boone said the song’s style was patterned after Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind,” but lyrically it points to the answer: God.
- The lyrics of the song call on listeners to reflect on the current state of division in the U.S. “We’re not one nation under God anymore,” Boone said in a press release. “This song is a warning, an alarm that America is in danger of losing its way.”
