Because we are unmistakably a product of our time, Fogelfoot likes to dabble in uneducated patriotism. We were so excited about playing “In the Eyes of an Eagle” as the showpiece of our SuperBowl halftime appearance that we completely forgot we weren’t invited.

This song is about the tender, last-minute reconciliation between a father and son set against the uniquely American backdrop of vinyl mills, tobacco fields, Tea Party activism, and the Ford Motor Car Company. It is also about Freedom. And Freedoms.

For this reason, “In the Eyes of an Eagle” is being offered as the national anthem of Afghanistan, Somalia, and Haiti as part of the U.S. government’s nation-building efforts in those transitional countries, and its lyrics have been reprinted on the igloo dome of the Alaska state house.

If you don’t like this song, you hate America and don’t support our troops. Avoid pushing your Prius up to highway speed, commie.
