*Notes
-"A Love Supreme" is available only as an album - as well it should be. It's the best ten you've ever spent.
-all of the above, though seemingly disconnected, serve to illustrate the quieter side of the American dream, which is arguably its only consistently successful form. What they have in common is appreciation. You need it for the first, you see it in the second, and it's argued for in the third. Draw your own conclusions.
