THE NA­TION­AL DI­VIDE AS EX­PRESSED IN BRUNCH VER­SUS CHURCH

You have peo­ple liv­ing in sub­urbs, bunkered off from the rest of the world. 

Their so­cial hub is church, re­gard­less of whether they are spir­i­tu­al peo­ple or not. If they want to in­ter­act with the oth­er peo­ple they worked so hard to lock them­selves off from, church is where they have to go. 

Then you have younger, more ur­ban peo­ple. In­stead of church you have brunch. It does­nt serve quite the same pur­pose be­cause younger ur­ban­ites have a lot of oth­er con­duits for per­son­al in­ter­ac­tion with­in their neigh­bor­hoods. But its the sun­day morn­ing ana­logue in this instance. 

The prob­lem comes when church be­comes a de­fac­to (of­ten right wing) po­lit­i­cal or­ga­ni­za­tion, as it has be­come more and more.

This is ob­vi­ous­ly a huge over­sim­pli­fi­ca­tion of the di­vide but I think there’s some­thing there.
 

TO WIT

We’re off hav­ing bot­tom­less mi­mosas and rolling our eyes every time Shaun train­wrecks ‘What a Fool Be­lieves’ into ‘Buf­fa­lo Stance’ and they are off hear­ing about how trans peo­ple are just do­ing it to mo­lest chil­dren in Tar­get bathrooms.

I am con­vinced that this song is the per­fect Sun­day morn­ing song. It ap­proach­es gen­tly and moves and builds in a way that nur­tures one’s hang­over while gin­ger­ly rolling them awake:
