'America' and 'Americans' are a lot of things. I hear many Brits making huge generalizations about this country and its people. Often looking just as idiotic, narrow-minded and bigoted as the people they think they are criticizing. I'm not here to defend 'America' or 'Americans' but I will say yes, it is indeed massive gaps between rich and poor, fucked up race relations, polarized and maddening politics, chain stores and fast food, genocidal history and all the horror and madness we all know about. Yes, it is even the loud-mouthed over-weight tourists walking around your 'quaint' village. But its also Alice Coltrane and Joe Henderson and this song Earth. Piss off.
