American Idiot by Green Day has become my new, traditional Independence Day music for the last 8 or so years.
Would love to replace that with something more patriotic, but we've got a lot of turning around to do before "Proud to be an American" is back in my playlist rotation.
Edit: And while I'm on my soapbox here, I'd like to extend a big 'fuck you' to any republicans celebrating today. You don't get to celebrate the founding of the nation you're trying so hard to destroy.
What a coincidence, I’m listening to American Idiot in full right now. Looks like we’re in a similar frame of mind.
I’d also recommend ‘Merican by The Descendants. Also released in 2004, it perfectly captures that dichotomy of being so proud of all the good our country has brought us while holding the deep shame of all our missteps. Sadly these days it seems like we’re growing the list of things to feel shame about.
Anyway, enjoy your last 4th of July of the old republic.
I just half jokingly commented about collaborating on a playlist. Adding that!
