Enjoy this year’s Super Bowl as it presents a clear insight into the current state of Americana: the fly over represents our ongoing love affair with militarism, the TV commercials celebrate an enduring culture of consumerism, the halftime show always seems to outdo itself in terms of a gaudy, over-the-top entertainment spectacle, the game itself allows us to witness careful strategic planning in a context of controlled and sanitized violence, and the seemingly endless procession of pyrotechnics exalt our beloved bombs bursting in air! In brief, the Super Bowl is the embodiment of the unique American mentality in all its raging, hilarious, and grotesque glory. Love it, leave it, embrace it, critique it...see it for what it is and then wake up Monday morning to somehow carry on yet again.
