I’ll preface this by saying, I do like living in the US. For all the whining American’s spew about the government, it could certainly be a lot worse, as evidenced by the throngs of folks trying to become citizens. We must be doing something right.
Having said that, however, I get a bit sick of the same old songs being trotted out every year for the Independence Day fireworks. It’s a bit like at Christmas you can only listen to grandma being run over by the damn reindeer so many times before you seriously get a craving for venison.
So I pose to you a question. Of the two below, which is your least favorite July 4th anthem?
Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA”:
or
Neil Diamond’s “Coming to America”?
I’m a bit sick of both really, but at least I like some of Neil’s other work.
