4th of July

Is still a time to remember the time when a large number of great men gathered. Yes, they were, some of them, hypocrites who wrote passionately about freedom while owning slaves, who spoke at length about free trade while smuggling themselves to great fortunes.

Yet, for all their human failings they gathered, they prosecuted an eight year rebellion and at the end of that struggle did not turn upon each other in a frenzy to continue the bloodshed.

They created something significant to the world. For that, and that alone they are deserving of our honor.

Tomorrow night, at some point during the show, I intend to turn my shit up very, very loud, and with the strat in open G and a coriciden bottle on my little finger I will play "The Star Spangled Banner" followed by "Yankee Doodle."

I. Will. Mean. Every. Fucking. Note.

Have a great 4th people.
