Kimmel says that one way our contemporary manhood is in crisis is because our cultural media supports the same contradictions that are realistic in every day life for men. Starting on page 235, he talks about how popular music specifically reflects the different contradictions that men face while trying to obtain their own idea of a perfect man. The song "Born in the U.S.A" by Bruce Springsteen is well known to all American's; it is played at sport events and chanted by crowds, but most don't know or realize that the rest of the lyrics are not so pro-America. I looked up the lyrics to "Born in the U.S.A" and one verse sings, "Got in a little hometown jam, so they put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land, to go and kill the yellow man" (AZ Lyrics). Before looking up the lyrics to the song, I had always been under the impression that the song was very patriotic. Like Kimmel says, the song is very upbeat and leads you to believe you are hearing something wonderful, instead our ears are fooling us to believe lies (Kimmel, pg 235-237).
