American Idiot by Green Day has become my new, traditional Independence Day music for the last 8 or so years.
Would love to replace that with something more patriotic, but we've got a lot of turning around to do before "Proud to be an American" is back in my playlist rotation.
Edit: And while I'm on my soapbox here, I'd like to extend a big 'fuck you' to any republicans celebrating today. You don't get to celebrate the founding of the nation you're trying so hard to destroy.
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!

...I'm old. cranks up Fortunate Son
some extra boring dystopia for your day
Also, what in the everloving AI fuck is this nonsense 🤦♂️
Fortunate Son and Born in the USA have the advantage no conservative has ever read the lyrics
Should we....make a playlist? I'll add two more.
- Green Day - American Idiot
- CCR - Fortunate Son
- Woodie Guthrie - This Land is Your Land (via @[email protected] -- updated to different version with the "lost" verse)
- System of a Down - Prison Song (BYOB is a close second)
- Descendants - 'Merican (Added from @[email protected]'s suggestion.)
- John Mellencamp - Little Pink Houses (via @[email protected])
- Stone Sour - Come What(ever)
- Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains (last two via @[email protected])
- Flobots - Handlebars (via @[email protected])
- NOFX - Idiots are Taking Over (via @[email protected])
- Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (via @[email protected])
- Disturbed - Land of Confusion | Genesis - Land of Confusion (via @[email protected])
Adding the "lost verse" for 'This Land is Your Land":
“One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple,
by the relief office I saw my people.
As they stood hungry,
I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.”
