Americas cultural idols loom large in my minds eye, astronauts from the atomic age, European painters, pop painters, even sports hero's all share the same larger than life image. Images of hero's today are endlessly displayed in the mass market, taking hero's to new heights of popularity or to all time lows. Whether good or bad fifteen minutes of fame has replaced the American dream.
