Since then this system has gotten worse and worse....or so the Society would have you believe. One brother told me, "Things were much simpler before 1914"
Ok, so let's look at some data.
Infant Death Rate In Canada in 1900 of children less than 1 year old. 190 per 1000, 5 per 1000 in the year 2000 Our World in Data
USA 1915 - 1997 100 per 1000 in 1915, 5 per 1000 in 1997 Cdc.gov
Like Expectancy - World 1900 35 years old, 2015 72 years old Our World in Data
Child Labor Ages 10-15, 1900 Italy, 82% for boys, down to 5% in 1961, 47% for girls, down to 5% in 1961. OWID
In the US in 1900, 18% of the entire work force were children, down to 5% in 1930. (Registered)
Child Mortality Rate UK and Sweden 1900 20% of Children die before the age of 5, down to almost 0% by 2015. BBC.com
Crude Death Rate in US due to Drinking water 1900, 800 people per 100000. 2000, 0 people per 100000.
Google Child Labor 1900. Look at the images.
There are sooo many more examples, poverty, reading, writing, famine etc.
Life has not been worse since 1914. Imagine having 20% of all children in your country die before the age of 5?
The Org is completely wrong. Nothing happened in 1914. The world has gotten better.
Over the past year, I have grown insanely fond of Radiohead and thought about what life was like before I knew them. They were my number 1 artist on Spotify this year, primarily from The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A. Kid A took longer for me to fully immerse in, which seems to be the case with others as well. Now it is one of my favorite albums ever.
For whatever reason, In Rainbows has never stood out to me as that special, but it's so beloved by many that it's always piqued my interest. What about In Rainbows drags you in and keeps you coming back? What makes it unique to other RH albums? Really curious what people have to say!
So this might be a stretch and ultra-niche, but I was recently getting into flower-power, hippy, psychadelic rock whatever you wanna call it aswell beside synthwave, and naturally got a raging boner when I discovered this and this lovely soundtrack.
And I wondered: Are there more artists with this unique genre- and time-defying blend of music I should be aware of?
Thank y'all in advance!
Make me suffer.

Reason #1
Alabama has had success with "Yea Alabama" as its fight song, there is no denying it. Theyve won a bunch of titles with "Yea Alabama" playing. But there have also been a bunch of years that they didnt win titles with that as the fight song. They have never had a year where they didnt win the national title with "Down to Earth" as their fight song. And was "Down to Earth" played during the 2013 Iron Bowl? No, but Down To Earth was...
Reason #2
Yes, "Yea Alabama" is a great fight song that energizes the crowd. But it doesnt encourage dancing. But what if "Down to Earth" is playing? Its peppy, exciting, dancy beat will get anyone, from kids to Adolf Hitler, moving and dancing and soon everyone will be fired up.
Reason #3
So Alabama's quarterback could be Mac Jones. "Down to Earth" is from the movie "Mac and Me." Need I say more? It would make Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones feel welcomed, and thats what its all about.
Reason #4
You can go even further with this. Alabama can release a pre-season hype video based on this legendary, exciting scene from the prestigious film. Just imagine, the entire Alabama team, cheerleaders, coaching staff, and team managers, acting this scene out word for word, lyric for lyric, step for step, dance move for dance move in a Tuscaloosa McDonalds. Replace Ronald McDonald with Big Al.

You could have actors who look like Coach O and Gus Malzahn to play the government agents. Think of the hype and buzz this video would generate! The Alabama Crimson Tide reenacting an iconic film moment.
Reason #5
The song provides in-game strategy in the lyrics. "You cant hurt staying down to Earth!" aka run the ball when you need to run the ball, something Bama fans have been screaming for. What does "Yea Alabama" say about in-game strategy? It just says "go out and win." "Down to Earth" provides specifics!
Conclusion: Yes, if Tua declares for the NFL and Mac Jones becomes the starting QB for Alabama next year, Alabama should change their fight song to "Down to Earth" from the 1988 film "Mac and Me."
