While I'm not a United States native, I wish you the best in your independence. My country's independence day is tomorrow.

You're right. Many people throw punches at America left and right. Maybe this has to do with the fact that most of the news we see are from the US. However, no country is perfect and If you compare It with most of South America, I'd say It's a great place where you can achieve great things with enough work and the right decisions.

That being said, I love The Boss' songs, though my favorites of his are Born to Run and The River.

"American Girl" is also a masterpiece (R.I.P Tom Petty) [Scary moment: Just as I was typing this, American Girl starting played on my Youtube Music].

As for a rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, I prefer the José Feliciano Version, but this might have to do with my Latin roots.

That being said, be proud of your country and Its freedom. Nice Article.
