Thomas Lipscomb:
The
Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is now a valuable window on what's wrong with
America.
Total product placement throughout, every girl singer pop tart sounds alike, as
indeed they have for the past decade, the end of the marching band which began
in the 1970s at Catholic schools is now complete with their overpowering ghetto
drum [Affirmative Action]
sections
and asinine flag waving, while the musicianship of the bands themselves is much
improved.
And finally the whole parade is like a Christmas morning full of flashy wrapped
empty packages. Everyone has long since forgotten what any of this is about.
Time to forget about the Macy's parade.
