The View From The Roof
Far/ We’ve been travelling far/ Without a home/ But not without a star
Sometime after September 11th, I was watching Saturday Night Live. I can’t recall the sketch particularly well (and I’ve never been able to find it on YouTube), but Will Ferrell was playing Neil Diamond, and broke into a singing of America, and the crowd went wild. It pretty much immediately became one of my favorite songs.
Happy Fourth of July!
