OK this is it the final song of this year's #FourthOfJulyPlayList. It can only be #WoodyGuthrie's 'This Land Is Your Land'. This song should be, must be, will be America's #NationalAnthem someday.

Before I sign off I would like to note that today would have been my father's 115th birthday.

Just one more after this (and then I'm treating myself to a drink). I didn't realise how many tracks I'd picked. Anyway so the penultimate track is #ChildishGambino with 'This Is America'

Only two songs and the finale to go in my #FourthOfJulyPlayList. This is #TomPaxton with his song 'Born On The Fourth Of July", inspired by Ron Kovic's book long before the film.

Only a couple more tunes in my #FourthOfJulyPlayList now. You can make it. Here's the legendary performance by #LesMcCann and #EddieHarris at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1969 of 'Compared To What'. In many ways this set, as much as anything, put Montreux on the map.

Nearly wrapping up my #FourthOfJulyPlayList now with the #LastPoets and 'When The Revolution Comes'.

Hang in there we're nearly out of that bend and I am offering up Credence Clearwater's 'Fortunate Son' and dedicating it to #PrivateBoneSpurs.

Still heading into that last turn with #SamCooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come'.

We're coming into the last turn (as long as I don't add any tunes as I'm tempted to do). So here's the late, great #JohnPrine with 'Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore'.

I'm going to get through this (I think) so as part of my #FourthOfJulyPlayList here's #KendrickLamar and 'Alright'.

Trying to push through to finish my #FourthOfJulyPlayList with Buffalo Springfield's classic 'For What It's Worth".

Despite the fact that it is beginning to get dark here in the Big Smoke I've decided to try and push through to finish my #FourthOfJulyPlayList so here's #PhilOchs and his song 'I Ain't Marching Anymore'.

Having returned home and had a bite to eat today's #FourthOfJulyPlayList continues (although I doubt I'll get through it today. Here's Ms Buffy Saint-Marie with 'Soldier Blue'.

One more submission for my #FourthOfJulyPlayList from the bar at the Partridge; Eddie Vedder's cover of Dylan's 'Masters Of War'.

Another contribution from the bar at the Partridge to my #FourthOfJulyPlayList is Gil Scott-Heron's timeless and on point 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'. The revolution will be live!

From the bar at the Partridge my #FourthOfJulyPlayList continues with #MarvinGaye's timely masterpiece 'What's Going On?'

One more entry in my #FourthofJulyPlaylist before I head down the Partridge for a few richly deserved jars of #LondonPride. Here we have the #IsleyBrothers and 'Fight The Power'.

And my #FourthOfJulyPlayList continues with a rendition of 'Get Up, Stand Up' with 'War' as an added bonus from #BobMarley's 1976 performance at the #TowerTheater in Philly where I was in attendance. He'd lived in nearby Wilmington DE about a decade before.

My #FourthOfJulyPlayList continues with 'Mississippi Goddam' from the one, the only #NinaSimone.

Next up on the #FourthOfJulyPlayList is 'Strange Fruit' and the only possible version is, of course, from #LadyDay.

Next up on the #FourthOfJulyPlayList the legendary #PaulRobeson, whose existence I'm sure #IlDouche and his #MAGAteers are actively trying to obliterate, with 'Joe Hill'.

Continuing with the #FourthOfJulyPlayList I offer this tune from the great #PeggySeeger (who's in London later this year); #ReclaimTheNight, to remind us that #IlDouche's regime is a terrible place for women be they straight or queer, cis or trans.

OK let the #FourthOfJulyPlayList commence. There is, unfortunately, only one appropriate opening tune, and that is this, Woody Guthrie's "Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos".
