To make this blogathon more fun, I thought I would give you all some music videos to listen to, honoring the musical legacy of our great swing states. Because nothing makes me feel more like a patriot than thinking of American pop music, which is truly an amazingly rich, diverse world and something we as Americans should take great pride in.

Missy Elliot:

Gene Vincent:

N*E*R*D

The Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl grew up in Virginia):
