Happy Fourth of July Music: American History in Three Minutes

Posted by Joerg Wolf in US Domestic and Cultural Issues on Tuesday, July 4. 2006

Need a three minute crash course in U.S. history? Listen to Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag" (entire CD at Amazon.com, Amazon.de). Pursuit of Serenity got the video, the lyrics and the relevant Wikipedia links built into the lyrics.
This blog is run by Marian Kafka Wirth, who woke up one day as a pro-American and documented this traumatic experience in one, two, three posts.
He also presents Bruce Springsteen playing Old Dan Tucker from his new CD "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions" (Amazon.com, Amazon.de). A CD that is worth its money.
