At one of the free musical events that make the NC mountains so attractive during the summer, I saw a photographer wearing a t-shirt showing Lincoln playing an electric guitar. I wanted to buy it off his back. Something about it captured the best of America–freedom, soulfulness, great skill, and the endless ability to reinvent yourself.
I was going to post something about how Trump, with his perpetual desire to divide America, had ruined the 250th birthday, but I will leave that for tomorrow. Happy Independence Day!
