have been thinking about this all day
for me for better or worse this song from the 60s is just a symbol of America, good vs bad, right vs left, peace vs war Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ScisGFllPY |

I have no idea why but I've always viewed US Maple as the "all-American band"

the simon and garfunkel song "america" seems to typify all those people in the 60's that got caught up in that "on the road" state of mind

FEAR - I Don't Care About You http://youtu.be/1t20CphpzM0
Down over South Street Philadelphia Out from Avenue C I seen it in the eyes It was ready to freeze From the valley hotel I don't care about you Fuck you I don't care about you I see Hollywood boulevard Welfare hotel I spent the night in jail Near the Wilcox hotel I don't care about you Fuck you I don't care about you I've seen an old man Have a heart attack in Manhattan Well, he died while we just stood there lookin' at him Ain't he cute? I don't care about you Oh I don't care about you I see man rollin' drunks Bodies in the street Some man was sleepin' in puke And a man with no legs crawling down 5th street Trying to get something to eat I don't care about you Oh, no I don't care about you Fuck you I don't care about you Hey, hey I don't care about you

I was gonna say "Fat Bottom Girls," but I think "I'm Afraid of Americans" (Nine Inch Nails single remix) is probably the only response this thread needs.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same, There's a green one and a pink one And a blue on and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look the same. And the people in the houses All went to the university Where they were but in boxes And they came out all the same And there's doctors and lawyers And business executives And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And they all play on the golf course And drink their martinis dry And they all have pretty children And the children go to school, And the children go to summer camp And then to the university Where they are put in boxes And they come out all the same. And the boys go into business And marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky And they all look just the same, There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. |

I agree. I think it's fair to say that opposition is deeply rooted in American culture. Bear in mind the history of its inception, the old division between slaves and Americans, North v. South, The Cold War, it's two-party system etc etc. A great love song: Butthole Surfers' Goofys Concern http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ybDgIOHyq4

I forgot rich v. poor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9SMXkpowo0 " Colors on the street Red, white, and blue People shuffling their feet People sleeping in their shoes There's a warning sign in the road ahead There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try Forget them any way I can"
