Star-Spangled Eyes: When Patriotic Music Condemns!

America is celebrating a big birthday this weekend, which has led me to ruminate a little on the nature of patriotism: what does it mean, and how does one do it well?

But it's Vinyl Friday, so we're also going to talk about Creedence Clearwater Revival, of course!

There is one very snuggly cat in this episode.

Happy Friday, folks!
