Instant classic prime heritage-mending Bistro. My heart swelled to bursting with red, white n blue. I don't think I ever fully took in til now what a profound mark those dorky watercolor jingles had on everything. From what I know, they STILL watch them in school. Leftists are too small-minded to understand that plenty of us have warm feelings about this type of stuff and are basically still products of it, and how badly that means they've screwed up. Gen X sure grew up with a long shadow of Bicentennial optimism. Going on school field trips to Washington DC. Seems like 9/11 killed that. Hollywood feeling well-adjusted with Clinton and doing films set in DC about the Secret Service stopping a terrorist or whatever, with lots of shots of beautiful pink cherry blossom (dearie?) trees. MTV Rock the Vote. Toothless election humor in MAD Magazine. There was a tribute album made in 1996 called Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks. Ween's "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" is a nice follow-up to "Freedom of 76." Evan Dando mumbles "Zero's actually my *hero*..." sensitively and long-hairedly as ladies swoon. But Pavement does "No More Kings" with so much weary sarcasm that it comes off as proto-NRx, which just ties this all back to that sense of lost optimism.
