Some people also think "Born in the USA" is a hymn to the USA.
Reagan's campaign people thought so...
There was an interesting piece on public radio yesterday about people's impressions and stereotypes. One guy had written an article for a magazine a few years ago in which he recounted his visit to Germany. He said that Germans tend to view Americans as bigoted, overweight, non-smoking retards, and that they think everything Americans do is based on cowboy movies. Of course, 99% of all Americans know absolutely zero about cowboys nor do they care about how John Wayne used to handle things in a fictional story.
He then went into his own stereotypes of Germans based on his weeks-long stay: Germans can be drunk and not let it show, late night TV sucks, and the coolest thing: Heavy metal is still really popular and current in Germany, whereas in the US, heavy metal is mostly popular among the 80's generation and doesn't get as much airplay as it used to.
Anyway, to get back on topic, I have letely been playing the 2001 soundtrack, especially the lesser-known and longer tracks like Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite.
But when I'm working in Anim8or, it's a different story: I use Pandora.com and listen to underground hip hop like Kool Kieth/Dr. Octagon, etc.
