American GBV
Like JasPer, I’ve also been kicking it with Guided By Voices this America Day. For me, their lawn-chair-and-cold-Bud brand of patriotism is best captured here:

Junkies on the corner
The smell of fried foods
And pure hot tar
Man, you needn’t travel far
To feel completely alive
On strawberry Philadelphia Drive
On a hazy day in 19 something and 5
