In the opening minutes of Marvel’s upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier (which have been released in much of the world as a preview of the film that starts opening worldwide on Wednesday, March 26), Steve Rogers (Captain America) meets Sam Wilson, who suggests he listen to a Marvin Gaye album, to help get him caught up with the decades he lost while frozen in the ice between World War II and the start of Marvel’s The Avengers.Steve removes a small journal from his pocket and says he’ll “put it on the list,” then scribbles the name of the album — the Trouble Man soundtrack — on one of the pages which, presumably, is loaded with things he’s been told are required reading/viewing/listening to live in contemporary America.So…what is modern American history, according to the people around Captain America?
