“The Good Life” (West of Missouri) was made in an ode to the artist Norman Rockwell and of a real former neighbor of mine who retired here in CA from Missouri. She rode past my home everyday with her two little dogs and 80s music on a little radio in her bicycle basket. With curlers in her bright red hair like she just didn’t care..I was immediatly drawn to this happy older woman whom before I knew her story seemed very relaxed and at peace in her environment and living her good life.
