The U.S. is a Potemkin village, as you point out; its beginnings couched in violence and conquest. Nothing is 100% anything, but you are overly kind, IMO, in your reminiscing its attributes, offerings. A huge quantity of “America’s” music is couched in human suffering and misery.
I self exiled, being unable to be complicit in its many crimes (presently ongoing) against humanity…
Even the term “America” is a misnomer: the Americas are made up of many countries, but the U.S. has usurped the term for itself. I try not to use it; preferring U.S. instead.
