As I look around at America outside my window, here’s what I know:

Just as with Germany, a few decades from now, people will gather in classrooms all around the world to view these days and this nation.

“Drive” was released on this day in 1992 as the lead single from Automatic For The People. In a 1992 Melody Maker interview @millsish.bsky.social said, “‘Drive’ is just telling kids to take charge of their own lives. Among other things.” Video directed by Peter Care.
