America is ignored by Americans. Everyone is too invested in their own families and problems to give a shit, welcome my son, welcome, to..the machine.
some thnigs are better left unalyzed, like the shimmering brilliance that was chappelles show. but the staff at grantland have managed to annoy me with analysis of it. i know why it is genius, dont tell me, that makes it too clinical. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8847357/view/full/a-battle-best-chappelle-show-sketch-ever
I didn't read the entire article but had to check out which sketch was picked #1. While it was a decent choice, the Rick James bit has to be my all-time favorite. Having Rick James participate in the sketch (just before he died) brought it to the next level. That show was so good that I may have to read the entire grantland when I have time. Maybe not to debate the points made, but just to remember all of those classic episodes.
