I'd really wanted to finish the last part of the discussion about "Living for the next world, but how about this world." I think I am not up for it right now, so it's time for some good music if nothing else.
Here is some old Don Williams country music. He wasn't as famous at the other Williams and his son, but Don Williams wrote and sang some good tunes. This was from back in the time before country music went seriously downhill. That could be arguable the end of the 1970s but there were still some good artists in the early 1990s.
Don Williams was even in a movie, as a bit cameo part in Smokey and the Bandit - II*. Mr. Jerry Reed, who plays the trucker with the handle "Snowman", is a country singer himself, and he tells Mr. Williams "you're my 2nd favorite country singer."
Rake and Ramblin' Man was not written by Mr. Williams, but by Bob McDill. Off of his 1977 album Country Boy, this is my favorite Don Williams song.
* Sequels are hardly ever as good as the originals, and Smokey and the Bandit itself was not exactly a world-renowned film.

PS: Yes, "Tulsa Time" is also a favorite of mine. I'd thought he'd wrote it till I looked it up yesterday. Just like people think Kenny Rogers was the original "Gambler" instead of Don Schlitz, people think "Tulsa Time" is an Eric Clapton song. (He did a good job with it, though.)

PS. “Tulsa Time“ is a great song.
