50 State Tour Through Rose Coloured Glasses

2023. 08. 15.

Adrian’s US tour is more to do with romance than reality. As an Irish man living in the US for over 25 years I have visited 42 states and currently live in Arizona. The town of Sedona that Adrian waxes lyrically over is thought of more as a tourist trap and when I was there it didn’t conjure up any songs either by The Eagles or even Jackson Browne. Winslow Arizona is another disappointment known for a truck stop and a prison. You know you’re nearing the prison when signposts along the road say Do Not Stop For Hitch Hikers. Winslow is a Rez-Town as it stands on the edge of the largest Indian Reservation in the US @ 27 thousand square miles-home of The Navajo Nation it is stunning and barren and desolate with all the expected problems like poverty and alcoholism. The sale of alcohol is illegal on the Reservation which helps create a certain dynamic in Rez-Towns. As for eating in diners in big cities and you have to search hard for Mom & Pop entities-the name used for independent non-corporate businesses. Mostly you’ll end up in Wendy’s Denny’s Arby’s It’s a Burger What A Burger lotta Burger In and Out Burger or MacDonalds. City Centers are becoming a thing of the past in the US. I do agree with Adrian on Indiana though.

Liberal media at its very worst!

Very biased liberal views unashamedly rammed down listeners throats with no sign of any balance or guests with views that differ to the hosts views. The show is obsessed with Covid 19 and pedals FEAR and panic at every opportunity. Terrible content, insufferable host and bland guests! 👎
