A person just had to be there then, 1968, My big brother is in Vietnam, My Mother lost both her parents,and don’t forget, President Kennedy had been murdered in 1963. I was a 10 year old farm kid, who came home from school everyday with my mom crying because my brother was in Vietnam. She would dry her eyes without saying a thing, then asked me how my day was, and we would start cooking supper so it would be ready for my Dad before he got home from his job.... That was my life as a little girl.....🇨🇱

And then that same year, 1968, Martin Luther King was murdered, then Bobby Kennedy. Then the Democratic Convention in Chicago, at which protests sparked a police riot. (That, after investigation, is what our government called it. It's not just my personal opinion.) Interesting times indeed. I hope that your brother returned home, intact.

Wikipedia mentions this in their entry for this song: Kurt Vonnegut quotes the song's complete lyrics in his 1981 book Palm Sunday, calling the song "yet another great contemporary poem by the Statler Brothers" and using it to describe "the present condition" of an American man who had recently departed his family. "It is not a poem of escape or rebirth. It is a poem about the end of a man's usefulness", he adds.

What a great song. I was born and raised in NYC where country music back in the 60s was as rare as hens’ teeth. The first country song I liked was “El Paso” by Marty Robbins and “Flowers On The Wall” was the second. I discovered a lot of great country music in 2000 and I’m still a fan now.

Note major shifts in the sixties and since with political power plays and re-defining terms and injecting elitist versions of reality from the academic bizarro world.

@JamesThompson-zk1ht

Very interesting. Google gave a literal translation. I think what must have happened here is that this "milk bun" must be as close as you can get in German food to the American "milk toast", which, although it sounds disgusting to me, was apparently a common dish in the USA. (Someone told me once that "toast" is not a thing in Europe in general. I know when I visited England and again in Paris I had a hard time getting toasted bread with my eggs. Bread, fine; toast, not so much.) So: Here in the states there was a novel, back in the mid-20th century, in which was found a character named Caspar Milquetoast. "Milquetoast" then entered our vernacular, referring to a man who is weak, timid, and ineffectual. And apparently this specifically American cultural reference was borrowed, and translated loosely but as closely as it could be into German. I have no source for this, but it just makes too much sense not to be the case. This meaning is a perfect fit for that comment as translated by Google. I wouldn't be surprised if that novel had been translated into German, with the translators choosing a dish that would be comprehensible to the German people, and the phrase then entered their vernacular the same way that it did ours.
