Album 14
The United States of America (1968)
by The United States of America
As an acting student in the Experimental Theater Wing of NYU I am shocked that I never heard this album before.
Discordant and angry, subversive and challenging and any other host of adjectival couplets I can think of.
Members of this group would work on, of all things, Sesame Street. And when I think about it, it makes perfect sense. Sesame Street was sort of subversive. Targeting the poor and the underprivileged, Sesame aimed to educate and used the tool of the elites, advertising, to do just that. It worked. For a while.
