or, Guthrie Wrote a Column for the Daily Worker
Blacks far outclassed whites aesthetically yesterday, typically. At least MOST whites on that stage realized it as it was happening (perhaps not Bono, or Bon Jovi). My kids made two piercing requests: “Long Walk Home” by Bruce, and “We Shall Overcome” instead of “Amorica the Bootyful.” And somebody should have invited Janet Jackson, seriously. Even more than his sunglasses, Bono lecturing us all on the American Dream is the most bracing argument for inclusion yet. He means no harm, but how sincere can egomania get?
