Everybody can change

It's true... He's coming back.
I find that Rocky provides the perfect metanarrative for understanding American history. Here we have an immigrant, beat down by the hostility of his working-class environment, until he rises above the fray and becomes a true contender in the heavyweight match of capitalist society.

He clutches to his position at the top, and even topples, but a renewed awareness of the Soviet threat brings him to rise once more in a new arena, through a spirit of unity with those whom he once called adversaries. And as the Russian menace beats him into a state of mental disability, he manages to beat democracy into Ivan, while winning over the masses with a truly righteous display of "heart."

And I will add further that Skippy should not treat the Beach Hug with such irreverence. It has brought inspiration to millions, and he who would question the power of the "heart metanarrative" deserves an E-boot up the ass.

Thank God. I've been waiting for months to see a post about the famous Balboan Metanarrative.

I would also like to add that I prefer not knowing who has been inspired by the Beach Hug, nor what it inspired them to do.

That's because you're an unbeliever. Maybe the magic of the Beach Hug has chosen not to find YOU.
