Turning it on, I was surprised to find that it was still full of someone else's music, but I figured I might as well take \"Michael's iPod\" out for a spin anyway.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of American Anthem, a yearlong series on songs that rouse, unite, celebrate and call to action. Find more at \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/622671774/american-anthem\">\u003cem>NPR.org/Anthem\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>One weekday afternoon last winter, when me and my pal Mia were decidedly not feeling good as hell, we slipped into one of those daytime matinees—the type reserved for people who have awoken feeling like we did and decided to disappear into the dark night of a theater for a few hours in hopes it might hold the madness of the world steady. We saw \u003cem>A Bad Moms Christmas\u003c/em>, a comedy sequel about how rapidly people become their parents. At the end of the movie, past the blooper reels and the sentimental clips of the stars as children, as the credits moonwalked up the endless black, a familiar wave of percussion and melody washed over the theater and stopped me in my tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lizzo's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmbmeOgWsqE\">Good as Hell\u003c/a>\" was first released in the spring of 2016, ahead of the rapper and singer's stellar EP \u003cem>Coconut Oil\u003c/em>. It is the kind of song that crawls into the body, becoming one with all its good joints and best nerves, and by now it has found a life of its own—not only in film but in clubs, jukeboxes, house parties, road trips, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/arts/television/rupauls-drag-race-season-10-episode-10-recap.html\">\u003cem>RuPaul's Drag Race\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, anywhere that signifies escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmbmeOgWsqE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most great anthems, it is a communal exercise. In place of a hand over her heart, Lizzo opens with, \"I do my hair toss.\" The line will return over and over, eventually shifting into a direct invitation to the listener: \"And do \u003cem>your\u003c/em> hair toss.\" Then comes the central thesis, issued in the chorus as a call and response. Marching through the wreckage wrought by shaky self-confidence, Lizzo shouts a question into the void—\u003cem>\"Baby, how you feelin'?\"\u003c/em>—and waits as a choir of voices replies, \"\u003cem>Feelin' good as hell.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The choir lives inside the song, but the response is loud enough to echo into the world beyond it: in a car after a breakup or bad date, or in a bedroom with no one but you and the isolation you've built for yourself, reminding you that you are not alone and not invisible.

We saw \u003cem>A Bad Moms Christmas\u003c/em>, a comedy sequel about how rapidly people become their parents. At the end of the movie, past the blooper reels and the sentimental clips of the stars as children, as the credits moonwalked up the endless black, a familiar wave of percussion and melody washed over the theater and stopped me in my tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lizzo's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmbmeOgWsqE\">Good as Hell\u003c/a>\" was first released in the spring of 2016, ahead of the rapper and singer's stellar EP \u003cem>Coconut Oil\u003c/em>. It is the kind of song that crawls into the body, becoming one with all its good joints and best nerves, and by now it has found a life of its own—not only in film but in clubs, jukeboxes, house parties, road trips, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/arts/television/rupauls-drag-race-season-10-episode-10-recap.html\">\u003cem>RuPaul's Drag Race\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, anywhere that signifies escape.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/SmbmeOgWsqE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/SmbmeOgWsqE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Like most great anthems, it is a communal exercise.

When I look at the news lately, or even catch a glimpse of a television while walking through an airport, I sometimes mumble \"This is hell\" to myself, because I have become less reluctant in my pessimism. I say \"This is hell\" and I mean I am watching bad people revel in their misdeeds, while less powerful people pay the consequences. I go to movies because I need an escape from a world where, for many of us, there are people waiting around every corner to shame, or minimize, or marginalize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months after \u003cem>A Bad Moms Christmas, \u003c/em>I dragged myself to \u003cem>I Feel Pretty\u003c/em> for a friend's birthday. I sat alone in a showing of \u003cem>Blockers \u003c/em>during another week when I'd watched too much news and felt perhaps hell, but no goodness, flowing from it. Both times, \"Good as Hell\" was there at the film's ending, ushering the story to a close. When you have already escaped, re-entering the world is the hard part. It is nice to have a song throw its arms around your shoulders and push you, gently, back into what you ran from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the real highlight was Wayne's collaborative appearance, along with the rapper Future, in a skit on sexual consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \"Booty Kings,\" \u003cem>SNL \u003c/em>players Chris Redd and Kenan Thompson starred as The Booty Kings, two flamboyant rappers—\"the kings of that booty music\"—who rock oversize Time's Up lapel pendants next to their glaring, gold Booty Kings chains. The skit flips mainstream rap's penchant for misogynistic content that objectifies women by featuring the duo, along with Uncle Butt (Pete Davidson), as rappers who prioritize consent first.
