Yeah, but how many people remember the ending of Born in the USA?

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

Not many remember that part, they just chant "Born in the USA" as a patriotic anthem.

"Gasoline will be free" sounds like an American Hugo Chavez running for President

Speaking of ironic anthems, as Robert Wuhl points out in his "Assume the Position" video on HBO, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (& "call it macaroni") suggested that Yankees were gay country bumpkins.

And then we have "We will rock you" by Queen.

Wuhl's position is that gay anthems are as American as apple pie.

westexas-

Have you ever checked out Tarantino's alternate take on Top Gun?

It's much along the lines of Wuhl's contention, and pretty funny to boot.
