‘ This new American uniform – the baseball cap, t-shirt, shorts and trainers (why not a scooter?) is not about looking good. It’ s about disappearing into a new, unofficial, global army of cultural babies. It says:

I eat hamburgers and watch TV and chew gum all day
I want everyone to play my game
You have to be nice to me and if you’ re not I’ m gonna shoot you
I can’ t understand a word you say

… and what is that but American foreign policy?’

Todd McEwen left the United States in 1980, but it’ s still driving him crazy. He worries about cheeseburgers, Cary Grant, Henry David Thoreau, democracy, the Elks Club and Daffy Duck. Join him on his acid-reflux examination of what America has come to be.
