Am I Un-American?

I don't like Bruce Springstein. Nope, not a bit.His song "Born in the USA" makes me want to hurl.Don't get me wrong, I love America as much as the next person, but I cant stand the Boss or his rendition of that song.Then I started thinking about it...Do I like any patriotic songs?Yankee Doodle- whopty doodle doo.
Proud to be an American - sang it for Hilary and Chelsea Clinton at the White House or Capital or something like that- I always associate that song with her and her ill fitting clothes she wore that day.
Tie a Yellow Ribbon- want to tie that ribbon around Tony Orlando's neck.That really crappy Toby Keith song about Americans kicking ass.. dont like that one as well.
I started to despair, thinking that maybe I really am Canadian. Maybe I should move to Italy. Then it hit me.. I love a Patriotic Song. More than life itself. Every time I hear it I think of Fourth of July, Watermelon, and Bathing Suits. Whats that song that inspires song, and summer in my heart?

AMERICA by Neil Diamond...

I seriously love this song. Don't start me singing it, or I will never stop. Maybe its a love of America, or just a love of Neil Diamond. Doesn't matter, now I don't have to move to Canada.
