American icons

i-con noun a picture, image, or other representation of some sacred personage; a representation that stands for its object by virtue of analogy to it.

I'm not sure what these two particular icons say about our culture or who Americans are as a society, but I'll tell you this. It doesn't make me feel bad. I'm part of that non-generation born between Baby Boom and Gen Ex. Too late for Woodstock, too early for Nirvana. We gave the world feathered bangs, jeweltone blazers with shoulder pads, and the moonwalk. And the rest of you are just jealous that we had so much fun.

Go with God, Farrah and Michael.
