"All men are created equal," was always a dare. Its irony wasn't lost on the enslaved, nor the women, nor the indigenous in 1776, and it's bitterly undermined now. But that idea has a deep root in the American mind, and has guided every move towards freedom for centuries. This album captures the feelings of frustration, betrayal, and wasted potential for Americans taking the dare seriously, while surrounded by people who don't anymore, and maybe never did. Pump your fist and sing along.
