I see many comments about Liberty on the 4th. Liberty and Freedom. As if they are the same. They are not. Freedom means you are free, not owned, not a slave, not subject to tyrannical government or oppression. Free to come and go as you please.
Liberty is temporary 'permitted' freedom. No different than when a sailor is granted 'liberty' to go ashore. He is not 'free' to keep going - he is granted conditional freedom. "Liberty?" and justice for all. No thanks, I'll take freedom. Screw the Statute of Liberty, give me the Statue of Freedom, American Re-built. Other than that, since that is a lofty goal, I like this one - |

It is indeed beautiful, but I find myself favoring the traditional cadence and marching band sound of Whitney's performance. It just fits the song.
Marvin is awesome, but I get annoyed when the traditional style (at least that I grew up familiar with iof course) is messed with too much. You start jazzing it up, using electronic beat, etc., and I just don't like it, no matter how beautiful. xtn
