While I understand and appreciate the theme of "America's Melting Pot" driving the selection of music for the Philadelphia fireworks in Center City tonight, I do have to question the appropriateness of selecting "Rule Britannia" for the list.
Narberth fireworks were nifty, and set entirely to patriotic music. I couldn't hear everything (it was half a mile away), but an operatic version of "America the Beautiful" was followed by Sousa's "Liberty Bell March" leading into the finale.
Alas, the Liberty Bell March will be forever associated in my mind with wacky British humor.
