Happy Fourth of July

"Freedom"  This is my right/A right given by God/To live a free life/To live in freedom//  Talking about freedom/Talking about freedom/And I will fight/For the right/To live in freedom //And anyone/Who tries to take it awayWill have to answer/''Cos this is my right/Talkin' about freedom/Talkin' 'bout freedom/And I will fight/For the right/To live in freedom

This is one of the few pieces of Superbowl memorabilia that I've held onto. It's the lyrics to "Freedom," A song Sir Paul McCartney penned shortly after 9/11 and performed to open Superbowl Thirty Six.

My parents were at the Superdome in New Orleans and saw the Patriots kick off their dynasty that night. A friend's photo of Adam Vinatieri's winning field goal hung on the wall of my father's home office for years.


Hope you spend the day with someone special in your life.
