I have to apologize to you. I've been caught up in a bunch of stuff and I've completely neglected BRP. I need to make it up to you, so instead of one song of the day, I'm going to give you three - maybe even more if you've been good. After all, it's a long weekend, right? And it's Memorial Day, a day that we need to remember and acknowledge those service members who never made it home. They were off defending our freedom - let's make sure that their sacrifice was worth it. Let's go already! Here's the freedom song: I'm not a huge Elton John fan, but anybody that celebrates Philadelphia Freedom is ok by me. How about something more summer-y? I thought you would never ask. I'll start with the Undertones and their great song about impending summer, and then I'll throw in a bonus track for you. Did you know that I used to be a huge skateboarder? It's true, and surfing / skateboarding are kissing cousins. I love The Endless Summer - great movie. One last theme. Have you noticed a bunch of articles lately about UFOs? If not, go and look. Apparently, something is happening. It's weird that bands have spent time thinking about spacemen and UFOs, but they have. Here are two tracks to prove the point. First up, it's the Killers - can you tell that they're from Las Vegas? Next up, it's Graham Parker. I love the Squeezing Out Sparks album, and this is one of the tracks from that classic. It's campy and fun. With that, it's time to hit Area 51 and enjoy the loooooong weekend. I hope that you have a good one and that the weather report is wrong as usual (well, at least for those hanging in Philly).
