#117 – Captain America
Happy July! Summer is here, having just rolled past the summer solstice a couple weeks before, and then the 4th of July, with songs by Jimmy Buffett rolling through my mind. The “Fourth” holiday always brings to mind very American things, such as flags and fireworks and fun, as well as the enjoyment and relaxation of a summer picnic celebration. Captain America is a song that touches on comic book hero’s and the innocence of a bygone era, similar to lazy summer days in the sun. This song is also a reminder of how the world feels a lot differently than it did back when it was written, or even five years ago.
