    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!
