In the land of the free
I was born when jimmy Carter called the shots on gasoline 
The jukebox recorder and the handheld slot machine 
Donkey Kong cereal was sold in every store
007, Ronald Reagan and Roger Moore
The Star wars project there was DOS before Dawson’s creek
Dungeons & Dragons was a game for freaks and geeks
In the land of the free 3x 
That’s where I’ll be
Sergio Valente made a scene like Jordace jeans 
Cuffed around the ankles or you were stuck in the 70’s
The bunk bed disaster when I fell on top of this
The Terror dome base and a couple of Cobra Hiss
Strawberry short cake, Rainbow Bright and scratch & sniff
A red star sticker meant that you were the narliest
In the land of the free 3x 
That’s where I’ll be
Summer break meant that your report cards were on the way
F stood for fantastic and D was the lowest grade
Grandpa’s stories about fighting in World War II
When you were too busy pulling gum from your rubber shoes 
Friday night roller rink, looking to get some kicks 
Scoping out Betties was another name for chicks


BMX, Diamond backs pebbles in your knees 
Iodine blotches exposed for all to see
You skipped school to watch reading rainbow afternoons
Benny hill skits, Mr. Rogers and Romper room
Duck, duck goose, Heads up 7-up 
Your sneakers gave you away 
Why do you look all shook up?
In the land of the free 3x 
That’s where I’ll be

Joe E. Jennings Jr. is the lead singer and co-creator of 1996 Indie Rock sensation, The Non Chalants. Acclaimed by many as an underground phenomenon, his music has been praised on Clash Magazine(UK), UCLA radio, KXLU, WPRV and by various bands around the globe. Performing music live, with The Non Chalants for nearly two decades has given him a glimpse of Hollywood stardom and its negative effects on the creative process.  The solo project was launched in 2001 in Princeton New Jersey, and would be revisited when The Non Chalants were on hiatus. Currently Joe E. Jennings Jr. enjoys the life of a seasoned songwriter, pleased with his, somewhat 140 compositions within his solo career. Furthermore, he wrote and released approximately 16 albums with The Non Chalants and its co-founder Frank Romero. Joe’s cleverly crafted brand of fuzz rock, shoegaze and psychedelic synth-pop is timeless, sincere and innovative. He encourages everyone to share his music, so let's keep those tracks spinning until the end of time.
