There's a lot to love about American culture.
I think
Holiday in Cambodia is the best guitar/drum song ever recorded.
My favourite novel is
Grapes of Wrath, IMO equal to any story written in any language.
What a rare talent it was that made the ugliest American accent sing!
I love Hellbilly music to bits.
Even though I'm a militant atheist, I think that e e cummings' poetic simile
"and god took a breath as big as a circus tent"
is as beautiful as I've ever read.
12 Angry Men is the best one-room play ever written, and the movies are among my all time
favourites.
But even if I live to 101, I doubt that I'll understand why so many US politicians, and
the foreign policies they concoct, end up lower than s*** on a shoe.
