Living Uptown in America

The president of the United States has a constitutional obligation to declare the state of the union on a yearly basis.  

Well, the state of this union isn't so much.  However, if music can bring people together, then unite coast to coast and bridge land in between.

In "Living in America," where did James Brown take us?

New Orleans

Detroit City

Dallas

Pittsburgh

New York City

Kansas City

Atlanta

Chicago

LA

In "Uptown Funk," go for a ride with Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson -

Harlem ... Hollywood ... Jackson, Mississippi 

Generations pass down musical interests.  Friends share musical interests.  Concert goers are strangers outside but best pals when appreciating live music.

A shame that music cannot heal the pain facing the once superpower - the United States of America...an honorable home to Ellis Island immigrants caught up in a proud national melting pot.  If my great-grandparents could see now, if my grandparents could see now...Music cannot heal.
