The mate and I and an old friend went and watched the local 4th of July celebration the other day. I was happy to be there, despite the crowds and bugs, but I was a little upset at the orchestra. I was waiting to hear "Be Kind to You Web-Footed Friends", which is my favorite 4th of July song. Instead, they were playing something else. Some thing rousing and familiar. Was it some sort of classical overture, some obscure Sousa march? It was in the back of mi--oh, shit. You had to be kidding me.
The tune?
It was Bohemian Rhapsody.
That pissed me off at first. I was hoping for corny, perky songs that could really rouse a crowd to rob the Indians or refuse to pay sales tax. Instead I get Queen?
Then I realized that this is the first Independance Day of legal sodomy in the US, and it all seemed perfect. posted by Frenz | 7/06/2003 01:33:00 PM
