Rock & Roll – Born And Bred In The USA

243 years ago today, the Continental Congress voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence. Yes there was music in 1776, but it sure wasn’t rock & roll.

Many songs relate to the 4th of July and/or American independence. Do you have a favorite?

One of mine was first released in late 1968, but wasn’t a hit. Following the success of The Joker, the song was re-released in 1974 and almost made the Top-40 charts (peaking at #49).

Best played loud while enjoying a cheeseburger, here’s Living In The U.S.A. by the Steve Miller Band.
