Singing Sweet Freedom’s Song

Jim Lloyd writes,
[Governor] Kim Reynolds [of Iowa] capitulated to the MaskArena this week, and after reading the proclamation, I was elated to find ‘exemption E’, which states the mask mandate does not apply to “any person giving a religious, political, media, educational, artistic, cultural, musical or theatrical performance or presentation for an audience”.
Said exemption inspired Jim to creative defiance:
As reluctant as I am to engage in any sort of nationalist nonsense, I do know “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” has four verses that would not be inappropriate for TheCOVID19ExistentialCrisis, and I suspect that singing it in public places would create an audience.
Hear, hear!
Becky Akers [send her mail] has published two novels of the American Revolution, Halestorm and Abducting Arnold. They celebrate liberty and sedition, among other joys, so buy them now, before they’re banned.
Idolatrous Irony
