“When it came out in 1972 I was 14 years old, I remember the scent of life to be discovered, the first complicit glances with the girls, the life in front of me. Now I’m 64, I’m at the end now. Listening to it now is a set of infinite nostalgia together with the awareness that life flies by without you even realizing it.”
– Mauro Berti
“America is one of many groups that epitomizes the beauty of ’70s rock. Beautiful harmonies and song writing. A bygone era that I was blessed to have grown up in.”

“I was nine years old the first time i heard this song on AM radio. Just came home from school and mom had this playing loudly on her new stereo. We listened in silence until the song finished and I asked Mom, ‘What are alligator lizards?’ She said, ‘I don’t know but they must be beautiful.’ I’m 55 now, Mom has passed, but the alligator lizards are still beautiful. Thanks Mom, and thank you America so very much.”
