It’s been a rough few weeks for all of us but it’s time to celebrate a country that’s worth saving. America has faced down difficult challenges many times in our history but for the first time since the War of the Rebellion, the enemy is within our borders.

Without further ado, let’s return to our regularly scheduled annual programming:

It’s time for my annual Independence Day post. I don’t like fireworks, so all I’ve got for you is some American music. Put your hands together for Dave Alvin, Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, The Blasters, Los Lobos, and The 5th Dimension.

Finally, the 5th Dimension with the Declaration of Independence set to music:

Happy Birthday ‘Merica.
