Pete Droge and U2 also have songs called “4th of July,” for whatever that’s worth. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gex gex \* > \*\ ***Ludovic** , how is the new Promise Ring? i like the group, but i’ve read bad reviews of the album. still, i like _stop playing guitar_, so maybe i’ll like the rest? \*\* the reviews were accurate. Although i am sick of them releasing mostly EP/singles, i gotta tell ya, this shoulda been a EP/single. It has three good songs on it (and they are very good) but the rest i could do without. Slow and somewhat depressed/ing. ---

Completely off topic, but did anyone notice that the group ‘I Am The World Trade Center’ had a song on [this CD](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005LN4Q/qid=1025941359/sr=8-6/ref=sr_8_6/103-1637360-5639831) called ‘September’, that just happened to be track 11? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TridCloudwalker \* > \*\*and I know there’s a movie, but isn’t there a song as well called Born on the Fourth of July? \*\* Folk singer and writer Tom Paxton wrote “Born on the 4th of July” based on Ron Kovic’s book (the Tom Cruise movie came later). It’s on his “New Songs from the Briarpatch” album, and it’s a great song on a great album. “I’m your old tried-and-true, Yankee Doodly to you, clean cut, paralyzed and heroic. I was born on the 4th of July, no one more loyal than I. When my country said so, I was ready to go, and I wish I’d been left there to die.” ---

5 Marz (March 5th) by Megaherz. And RZA, I thought of that, but I didn’t want to mention it. ---
