Access by appt. only.|5CBPF. 520 This parodic music video employs cultural clichés and Reagan-era political advertising strategies to lampoon the myths of the Wild West, the American Dream, and Manifest Destiny. Performance artist Michael Smith's alter ego, mild-mannered "regular guy" Mike, embodies a series of all -American male stereotypes, including college prep, cowboy, and real estate developer. In this modern tale of rugged individualism, Mike pulls himself up by the bootstraps, encouraged by a musical chorus to "Go for it!" 538 U-Matic NTSC. 541 0 PFA 0750-01-11090.
