At Mall 101 in Depoe Bay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
an American flag flies between two signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red-lettered \u201cArt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blue-lettered \u201cLiquor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guess which store remains open when leisure haunts the Oregon Coast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bruce Springsteen plays live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBorn to Run\u201d or \u201cBorn in the USA?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish he\u2019d play \u201cKitty\u2019s Back,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
stop American time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
like a shotgun spread to the face,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
send the market crashing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on Super Hangover Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when mediocre high school history teachers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
come down with the flu<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and roll video of when America<\/p>\n\n\n\n
kept on rockin\u2019 in the free world,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and later end the academic year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
without teaching about the Freedom Rides<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or the massacre at My Lai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t give them \u201cGlory Days\u201d Bruce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give them \u201cJungleland,\u201d one song, that’s it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
