Quote by Billy Joel
The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent.
Summary
This quote suggests that American culture, as portrayed through movies, music (such as jazz and rock and roll), and fashion (like blue jeans), has a broader appeal and can provide a more accurate understanding of the country than what politicians or advertisements present. It implies that cultural exports carry more weight and are more genuine in reflecting the essence of a nation than the carefully crafted images projected by those in power or those attempting to promote tourism.
