The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day



Johnny Cash, "I've Been Everywhere" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: While at first blush "I've Been Everywhere" might not seem like an inherently patriotic R.B.D.S.O.T.D., but I challenge you to name another song that mentions more places in our great republic. Admittedly, the above photograph goes a little farther afield than Mr. Cash's statement, "Listen, I've travelled every road in this here land," but all twelve men to set foot on the Moon were Americans, astronauts of America's National Aeronautics & Space Administration who flew in spacecraft & wore spacesuits bearing the American flag. They "came in peace for all Mankind," as proud sons of the United States of America.
