America Idles - Touring 10-11

Sociologists scoffed when Andy Warhol predicted that we would evolve into a culture where everyone had their :15 seconds of fame. That was before reality TV took over the airwaves and pop stars were created though text messages and Tweets. Facebook has become the preferred means of sharing opinions and images, and with every new App, the phone has become mightier than the pen, which long ago eclipsed the sword. America Idles takes a look at all this by tapping into the collective minds of the audience that comes to see Chicago City Limits each night. It glorifies and vilifies the deities we create, which seem to change as quickly as the weather. From the economy and global conflict, to those who dance with the stars and hang on Simon's caustic comments, the show takes its inspiration from you the audience. Waste is a terrible thing to mind, and CCL makes sure that won't happen!
