"America Day"

In honor of Independence Day, I've put together a little quiz for you. Here are some songs w/ America in the song; let's see how many you can get:

"`Cause we`ll put a boot in your ass/It`s the American way/Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list/And the Statue of Liberty started shakin her fist" TOBY KEITH- BLECH

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag,/Ooh, they're red, white and blue./And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",/Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,/It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son." CCR

"As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking/Is this land made for you and me?/Nobody living can ever stop me,/As I go walking that freedom highway;/Nobody living can ever make me turn back/This land was made for you and me." WOODY GUTHRIE

"Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A." BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

"They're coming to America
Everytime that flags unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America"
NEIL DIAMOND

"See the rain through a gaping wound/Pounding on the women and children/Who run/Into the arms/Of America"
JOHN MELLENCAMP?

"There's pride in every American heart/and it's time we stand and say:I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free"
LEE GREENWOOD. BLEEEEEEEEEEEEECH

"Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah,
I walk in and out
Living in America"
AEROSMITH?

"Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike/They've all gone to look for America/All gone to look for America, All gone to look for America" PAUL SIMON/ SIMON & GARFUNKEL

"Oh but ain't that America for you and me/Ain't that America somethin' to see baby/Ain't that America home of the free/Little pink houses for you and me " JOHN MELLENCAMP

"Bye bye Miss American pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry" (TOO EASY, I know...) DON MCLEAN

"Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big/Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by/That's how it goes in everyday America" No idea

And, just for you...
"Well she was an American girl/Raised on promises/She couldn't help thinkin'/That there was a little more to life somewhere else/After all it was a great big world/With lots of places to run to"
TOM PETTY!

that was fun. Thanks, Morgan! Happy 4th of July. Yesterday we and found out our sites. Drum roll: I'm in a village 2 hours northwest of Suva, in the interior! it's a big village, about 400 people. My projects sound wonderful and I'm really excited to check it out next week! I am bummed that I'm not going to Vanua Levu (really really bummed) and that I won't get to see any other parts of the country. But, all in all it sounds really good.

I had a touch of stomach troubles but I'm feeling okay now. We just watched a local rugby game which was a lot of fun, and muddy as it rained again.

Every time I'm able to use the internet, I keep forgetting what I want to say so I'll leave it at this for now. Hope everyone's enjoying their barbecues and beers and sparklers!
