Q here the first and official pyrotechnics were 1 july - and here's not kanada... but today were/are the real ones, including the one that just crashed outside my window 000704

whirligirl it wasn't so bad.. lots of fireworks keep flying across the sky and i could see the official show out my window (albeit mostly obscured by a big tree) the city is all full of smoke. it's a worth-it holiday, i think. ;) 000704

Barrett I arrived at my hillbilly buddy's house in the middle of a bottlerocket fight between him and his neighbors. I got hit in the chest a few times.
Thank God for beer.
Crazy fuck'n hillbillies.

moonshine I remeber, the 4th of july. the noon silence, I couldnt keep, they were kicking my tent. I couldnt wake. Like any other day,except some idiots where tossing some firecrackers into the canopy of trees. Not that there wasn't roughly 20,000 of us up in those mountains, and we afterall in the middle of a damn drought.Not that a littlle forest fire would have, put a damper on the gathering. 000923

silentbob 4th of July

you gotta have the right tools
for every job
so I invite myself in
through a hole in the fence
I am tripping through the junkyard
scanning over the piles
the thin cats raise their skin in defense
I know he's watching me
I can see him through the cracks
his eyes are small and shy on my back
he says his name is jason
he lives in the last trailer on the right
and he'll be seven
on the fourth of july

only the people who live here
know the name of this place
my path through iowa would be
hard to trace
all the adults in this town
try not to frown
when I walk by
but jason smiled at me
he met my eye

he don't ask me
where I'm from
or why I came
here alone
we all go looking for paradise
then we go back home
we cut out the small talk
go right to the way things are
he showed me his squirrel skull
I told him I locked myself out of my car

so there goes the only friend
I have in iowa
his hand flapping behind him
waving good-bye
his name is jason
he lives in the last trailer on the right
and he'll be seven
on the fourth of july

Barrett 4th of July
with Lucy in sky
I remember palm trees
and the sights of many colors
I was nineteen
I'd do anything
shit like that now scares me
but I'd like to do it again.

It was Idependence Day
I've seen the other side and I say
Oh, I've been insane
and I will never be the same.
