Have you ever wandered down the street, seen something interesting, and though “That’s so American”? I have many times. I believe that there’s a distinctiveness to American culture and ideals that crops up in everything from literature to music to little gadgets in a workshop somewhere.
Well, the other day, I decided to start this blog to document all those “That’s so American” moments. As a first time blogger, I was slightly daunted at the prospect of sharing my thoughts on a regular basis, but I decided to give it a shot. So, read my posts, ponder a little, and think about why some things are “so American”- what can those books, songs, tools, and gizmos tell us about the USA?
