This list is dedicated to Tim Howard, who showed the world what being a goalie is all about. What does that have to do with the 4th of July? Nothing except timing. What does Tim Howard have to do with music? Nothing. Although I do sort of feel about him the way I feel about Tom Morello.
Anyway, enjoy the long weekend. Enjoy the fragile freedom of independence. Enjoy being American, even though we are a messy, crazy bunch. Just like this playlist.

What songs would be on your ultimate 4th of July playlist?
Girls In Their Summer Clothes by Bruce Springsteen has an awesome summer vibe!
Love The Lumineers! Thanks for the list!
Was listening to Springsteen on the way home from grocery shopping, Born in the USA!
The Lumineers and the Avett Brothers are two of my favorites! Springsteen, of course! I’m too lazy today to think up a list, so, thanks to you and Spotify, I’ll just listen to your list. Thanks, Maria, once again. And I hope you get to see some amazing Fireworks on the 4th!
FIREWORK by Katy Perry should be on a July 4th playlist.
