Patriotic Songs. Not!
"Some folks are made to wave the flag, ooh, they're red white and blue..."
--Fortunate Son, Creedence Clearwater Revival
In Celebration of the 4th of July and beyond, let us gather those songs that sound Patriotic, but really, really aren't.

Loved seeing politicians wrapping themselves in the Flag behind this song....they were as deaf to the lyrics as they typically are to everything else:

Steve's less subtle than Bruce or Elvis, but at the time, it needed to be said:

A better version than all of today's multi-octave vocal attempts!

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up.

And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
