I am a Patriot

[Peeps]

I have a version where Ed thanks brad and john and mentions about having to travel the same two lane highway as everyone else

anyone know where this is from?

Where he plays the song fast? I think it is Tibetan Freedom Concert in 1999.

I was at Lexington 2003 when Eddie and Matt played "I Am a Patriot" to open the first encore. The line "I am a patriot and I love my country" drew out a cheer that drowned out the rest of the line "because my country is all I know". The country was in the midst of "OK 9/11 happened and that's making us feel very American together but also we're not all board with this Iraq thing so that's making us feel very American differently." And Kentucky is a red state with blue cities so that was a layer.

I think looking back on it the most remarkable thing was Eddie didn't take the moment to lecture anyone. He let the art be the art. I appreciate that looking back.

I wonder what would have happened if they'd played Bu$hleaguer next.
