Smithsonian explores how entertainment shaped America

"Entertainment Nation/Nación del espectáculo," a new exhibition at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., features artifacts from 150 years of music, sports and moving images. CBS News' John Dickerson gets a tour, and looks at how Prince, "The Wizard of Oz" and "Star Wars" helped define our national character.

The mini segments on Prince and Selena were great.

[@philipcramer940]

I'm over the top happy Selena is included. She deserves to be there. Ljust as important as Prince.

[@mililaniman]

I had all the Star Wars action figures growing up. I also loved the music of Prince growing up. I would love to visit the museum.

[@joeybaseball7352]

It's free. You just have to get to Washington DC.

[@lkendrix7782]

I watched this when it first aired this morning! Loved it!

[@chrisfinch8637]

Pretty much any form of entertainment, people, and history involved, has shaped us up to be who we are, today.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

They perfectly ended the piece on the iconic stopwatch from 60 Minutes.

[@joeybaseball7352]

I like Sunday morning way more than 60 minutes.

[@bonnierobinson8684]

Great Report! Have to see this!

[@esty817]

Prince y Selena 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mabelurena8311]

The forever young Selena ❤

[@karlakay]

To explain....how all the unique USA Arts and Artists in these mediums were made possible by this country having Middle Class Leisure time. Time to create, and time to enjoy.

[@steveconn]

Great idea. Prince basically a cross between Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. And Judy's slippers! Good addition to the Kitty Hawk and Spirit of St. Louis.

[@reginafris6822]

Except neither sang in falsetto, won an Oscar, had a signature color, wore 4 inch heels, or blew up the Super Bowl halftime.

[@alezandradavila2581]

For sure

[@alezandradavila2581]

How fun

[@rr7firefly]

Not all entertainment is equally interesting or relevant.
There are niche markets for very different forms.

[@daniellozano8057]

I was 11 when Selena died. It's still upsetting that she isn't here. I would have loved to have heard what her brother, everyone who wanted to work with her, and Selena herself would have come up with.

[@maxlinder5262]

America is Pop culture......

[@alezandradavila2581]

I love entertainment

[@joeybaseball7352]

Oprah had a golden microphone? I don't remember that. I was a frequent viewer of Oprah.

[@MrMatteNWk]

Ignoring the spam comments that replied to you for some reason, switching to HD/looking closely, it appears it was only used on the 24th season opener of her show.

[@kateskeys]

Star Wars🤮🤮🤮

John must not be married bc before leaving for work the day this clip was produced his wife would have told him to shave and tie his tie properly before being filmed Sounds petty but one should be prideful when working for America's premier National Museum
