buried you alive in a fireworks display...

Thus far it has been a rainy Independence Day in Bloomington. Before the rains came Panda Bear and I made it downtown for the parade. I told her about hometown's annual Fourth of July midnight parade and the one year (was is seven, eight years ago?) I and some roustabouts made a mockery of the whole goddamned thing. What happened to those kids?

It seems unlikely that there will be any fireworks festivities tonight. Earlier, I thought 'fireworks' and my mind immediately associated the word with this great line from a certain Chicago band: "Buried you alive in a fireworks display / Raining down on me / Your cold, hot blood ran away from me / To the sea."
