I'm Afraid of Americans

BOOKMARK
This NIN remix of David Bowie's I'm Afraid of Americans was accompanied by a killer video featuring Trent Reznor stalking Bowie on the streets of New York. Given American's current status in the world, the song's lyrics will probably grab the listener's attention in a way they may not have when the track was released in 1997.
The song's CD single features six tracks, including multiple remixes by Reznor, an appearance by Ice Cube, a Photek track and more.

can you imagine the hatred that would have been directed at bowie had he released this song in, say, 2004?
Considering that the majority of the world is afraid of what they have seen the American government do in the last six years, I think it a very appropriate song. The video is great also.
This video had nothing to do with politics in 1997 and has nothing to do with politics now. Its a commentary on the spread of pop culture and America's role in the homogenization of culture in general.
