I always felt like that line (and the song) was just quintessentially about America and the American Dream and the chasing of some vision or dream even if it’s just some cool party. Besides being a great song, “American Girl” is one of those songs that you could say just accurately describes what it’s like to be young…

I feel like he was so effortlessly cool and his music felt so effortless that in a way he’s underappreciated. He should be considered one of the great American songwriters and artists yet he’s not in part, I think, because it never feels like he breaks a sweat doing anything he does

I think we might look back on this moment as the moment these protests jumped the shark

Wait, you’re not doing the Hot Take right: “SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THE REST OF THE STEELERS THAT THEY’RE PART OF A TEAM AND THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT WITH HIM!”

Wait, is booing at the start of the National Anthem disrespecting the troops or is not disrespecting the troops because they’re allegedly booing people who do not respect the troops?
