Happy Independence Day everybody!
Enjoy the grilled meat, the explody things and the rock & roll, and remember:
"Nobody living can ever stop me, as I go walkin' that Freedom Highway!"
Check out some tunes, including this incredible version of "Masters of War" by the Roots, who turn the Dylan song on its head by copping the melody from our national anthem. It's subversive as hell, but what a statement!
And how 'bout "This Land Is Your Land" as our new national anthem? It's got my vote.
