We decided to listen to American radio for the first time on our trip. The first words we heard being broadcasted were: “Young women should not be allowed to have abortionsโฆ”. Quick change to the next FM station – this time it was a guy on folk guitar singing about “Sunday the Sabbath”. Next up was a Ricky Martin-esque Spanish-language cheese-pop song – we made it through one verse. A turn of the radio knob took us to the middle of a country tune: “โฆgrabbed my woman and grabbed my gunโฆ”. That’s when we turned off the radio.
