Singer and songwriter Pat Boone is a living legend with dozens of hit songs to his name, having sold nearly 50 million records during his decades-long career. And at the age of 90, he is still going strong. Boone has released a new song

The song pines for a return to the principles that made America great, while addressing the challenges the nation faces today. But Boone has local ties to Seattle and is aware of the area’s problems. It’s why he’s hoping things turn around.

“My eldest daughter lives in Sammamish, and five of my grandkids grew up there, and my son-in-law, Dan O’Neill, helped me start Mercy Corps, which is the International Human relief and hunger relief agency 鈥 that’s still operating from Seattle,” Boone told “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH.

Like so many in the region, Boone laments the hard left turn the city has taken.

“The whole political climate has changed to the point where you give away a city block and let it become some little city-state where murder is going on and all kinds of things,” he said.

Nevertheless, Boone offered a message of hope for the city and our country.

“We just got to get back to basics … de Tocqueville, I quote him a lot, the historian who when America first became a great nation, he asked, ‘Why is America great?’ And he said it’s because America is good,” he shared.

On whether Boone would be able to fit a de Tocqueville rhyme into a song, he quipped “let’s go to get wokeville.”
