Turn it up to 11, America!
Nothing says 4th of July freedom like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” ripping through the speakers.
Play it loud. Sing it proud. Let the whiskey flow and the amps explode.
Happy 250th America 🇺🇸

The iconic “Twist and Shout” parade scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was set on June 5th and filmed during Chicago’s real Von Steuben Day parade. Director John Hughes cleverly integrated the scene into the actual annual German-American parade, using real participants and spectators. Matthew Broderick performed on a float while thousands joined in singing and dancing. The sequence remains one of the most joyful and memorable moments in 1980s cinema.

Because everything on the stage were live instruments and the stage floor was slick with water for he and his dancers, they asked Prince what did he want to do about the performance.
Prince replied, “can you make it rain harder?”
Long live Prince. The greatest halftime performance in Super Bowl history.
They don't make songs like that anymore. All natural, no computers.
One of the most powerful voices of all time.
No big screens, no cellphones, no big lights, just a band and the public, best of times.
