I want to compile a CD for the 4th, here are some I thought of, but I'd like a bunch more:

CCR: Fortunate Son
Springsteen: Born in the USA
Hendrix: Star Spangled Banner (Woodstock)
Steve Miller: Living in the USA


Others?

Just so you know...CCR Fortunate Son is very far from a patriotic song. I's about the fact that politicians children weren't being drafted for Vietnam "It ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son" means. I'm going to die. Same thing with Born in the USA.

Well, I disagree. When he says "It ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son", it means I'm going to serve my country, despite those who are sons of the 'elite' who can escape Vietnam. IMHO.

-edit: John Fogerty served in the armed forces during the Vietnam era.

Charlie Daniels
"In America"

Lyrics:

Well the eagle's been flying slow and the flag's been flying low
And a lot of people are saying that America's fixing to fall
But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee
We got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled but she ain't never fell
And if the Russians don't believe that they can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back on the path of righteousness
And then God bless America again

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

From the sound up in Long Island out to San Francisco Bay
And ev'ry thing that's in between them is our home
And we may have done a little bit of fighting amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us alone
Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your head on a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand

And you never did think that it ever would happen again
In America, did you?
You never did think that we'd ever get together again
Well we damn sure fooled you
We're walking real proud and we're talking real loud again in America
You never did think that it ever would happen again

I don't know who sings it, but it goes "And I'm proud to be and American, where at least I know I'm free..."

What??

It has an anti-vietnam message

Idon't know who sings it, but it goes "And I'm proud to be and American, where at least I know I'm free..."
That would be Lee Greenwood - God bless the USA, a good song but not a rock and roll one
