2. 1776 is a July 4 tradition

They also show it late at night and DH and I catch it after the community band we play in does our patriotic stuff right before the town fireworks...not this year. Last time I had July 4 “off” I was in the hospital with my 2-day-old baby boy, who just turned 30. (I can’t possibly have a kid that old! And he has a 34 year old sister.)
Interesting story about 1776: the Nixon administration demanded that a musical number highly critical of conservatives, “Cool Considerate Men,” be removed from the film. Conservatives being assholes goes back a long ways! The number was restored to the film later.
