Sorry about that.

Thought this article was funny. John Mellencamp doesn’t mind using the internet to sell his music, but, be careful out there!

It lets us do things we never thought we could do and it lets us get them done quicker, but, I love this idea John Mellencamp had about his new album.

He also has a unique greatest hits package coming on June 15th.

As you gather with friends and family, take some time to remember those who sacrificed everything the freedoms we enjoy everyday.

For a brief look at the day once known as “Declaration Day”, check this out. Or if you prefer to see some video, The History Channel has a pretty good site.

Also, Arlington National Cemetery has a great photo gallery and info on the origins of the 21 Gun Salute, Taps, and other military history.

It’s been 38 years, so, I guess it’s time to revisit one of the greatest albums of all time.
