Happy Independence Day

Well even though freedom ain't quite what it used to be, this is still a great country and there's always hope we can save it all over again from the corporate demons that threaten its soul. And speaking of soul, I always wished this was our national anthem.



Leon Russell did a nice cover of this one too. For the traditionalists who prefer the current anthem, take your pick. Via Doug J, a really nice rendition by Marvin Gaye or the 60s classic from Jimi Hendrix.

Also, in honor of the holiday, fun interactive google logo today. Enjoy your celebrations and be careful shooting off those fireworks.
