Ya might wanna remember that while “Real American” has long been associated with Hulk Hogan, it was NOT written for him, but, rather, Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo as the US Express. Da Huckster got hold of the song, and, well, the rest is history.

Oh yeah, I did mention that in the commentary on the show. I’ve even got a comment on a pro wrestling experience I had in college back in 1983. You should tune in. You will enjoy.

I wish I could, Chuck, but I have a commitment to cover high school football tonight.
I see we’re both on Reddit. If you’ve got time tonight, slip in Jimmy Hart’s recording of Cinnamon Girl. Yes, it’s a song more associated with Neil Young, but Jimmy did a great job with this years ago. I was able to find something on YouTube.
When you reply to me on Reddit (left a couple of comments), I’ll try to get you a link to a video with the audio track.
