And thanks to Cheryl for the idea. It was a tough choice. Ray Charles, Sousa march, Ray Charles, Sousa march…
You got Ray.
Nice gospel: Ray evangelizing on behalf of the USA.
I like the askew funk guitar riff at the beginning of the song.
And can’t find the button. I have an email in to Pols.
Or “composers,” that is. American composers, at that.

I’ll let the YouTube blurb speak for this one:
On a side note, Beck wrote a song called Harry Partch:

And here’s a fun video put together by a guy in Moscow, based upon a recording by Moondog:
This is a better introduction to one of Moondog’s compositions, but I like the visuals and concept behind the video above:

And here’s one of Moondog’s songs played by the British band Clinic (performed using a retro-cheapo electronic instrument called a Stylophone):

Bio on Moondog (who, on a side note, actor Jeff Bridges has said he’d love to play in a movie), the blind American “Viking” of New York City:

It moved me the first time I heard it 30 years ago. It still moves me.
That first Jim Carroll Band album (Catholic Boy), at least, is a classic. (Keith Richards and Patti Smith helped Carroll secure a record deal.)
His book The Basketball Diaries is worth reading, too. The movie based on it? I actually thought Leonardo DiCaprio did a good job as Carroll, but, IMHO, the flick was lacking.
I think it means different things to different people. This 4th I’m actually very melancholy. Have a great, safe weekend everyone.
I know I’ve heard that one before. But really listened to it? While there’s essentially a post-Watergate/Vietnam world-weariness expressed, it still sounds contemporary. Nice contrast between the Mayflower and outer-space exploration. A hopefulness predicated on R&R (rest and recovery). Soldier on, Pilgrim.
You’re always surprising me with your videos.
I hope the weekend pulls you up. I’m always down at Memorial Day, but the 4th of July always pulls me up. When I sit in a crowd of people screaming and yelling at fireworks, it always reminds me why I love living in this nation of ours…
And this cover, by the ‘Bicentennial-era band with Colorado roots, better known for another song, is just lovely.
It speaks to 4th of July patriotic urges, as well, what with it’s refrain of “Skyrockets in flight!”
Er, uh, it speaks to some kind of urges, at least, in its own mellow way.
Bach. He ripped it off from another composer and in turn had Simon use it for the verse on “American Tune”.
Thanks for the info, and the Bach.
Split Enz. right before they split up….
without a little Philadelphia Freedom, would it?
Oddly, this performance was recorded at the Royal Opera House, so I suppose we’ve patched things up somewhat in the last 234 years …
Enjoy your 4th everyone. Play hard, safe and enjoy you family and friends. Thank God for America the free!url=Singapore Travel[/url]

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. mid autumn festival 2011 holiday forum Singapore travel
