Happy Independence Day! Which state do you originally hail from?

[Figgy1]

I am another New Jerseyian to add to the list. If you are familiar with the stereotype map of my state, I am from "Springsteen Country" (Here is the map if you haven't: http://imgur.com/Pwnf4). My area also brought us Danny DeVito and Jack Nicholson.

We are apparently stronger than the storm (Take that nature!), but we sadly all suffer from a terrible disorder that prevents us from being able to pump our own gas.

I never understood how people could pay more to pump their own

Rick Derringer was a big hero of mine after buying his first solo album..All American Boy...Rock n roll hoochie koo indeed..

I forgot about him. So...I guess you remember 8-track tapes as well?

Remember them? We still have the tapes and player in the basement. My husband blasts them when he's working on projects down there.

Anyone else watching A Capitol Fourth on television?

And I am really, truly disappointed--no, I'm actually angry--that no channel is nationally televising the Boston Pops Independence Day concert and fireworks.

We were too, but watched the NYC version which was great, but still ............

I always watch the Boston Pops too. I look forward to watching it every year. So disappointed. I wonder why no one televised that special.

I think having a lot of oil refineries is what keeps our gas so cheap. There is probably some gas tax stuff affecting it too.

Born in TX, currently though I guess I should say I'm from GA. I've been here the past 6 years, and used it as my "base of operations" (read...legal address) for the last 20 years.

Rick Derringer was a big hero of mine after buying his first solo album..All American Boy...Rock n roll hoochie koo indeed..

Back in his younger days (17) he was with The McCoys. They recorded the hit "Hang On Sloopy" which is Ohio's state song.

78s? Now those were the true "Albums" in the literal sense. My father had several old albums, and by albums I mean 3-6 78 records in an "album", and each record, yes the entire record only had one song on each side!! I only go back to the LP 33s, which most peeps mistake for an "Album".

Some of the early 78s only played on one side, and didn't play for much more than 2-3 mins...........

We do that song in our set along with quite a few others,like " It ain't funny " and " Hopeless Romantic "

Late to the party as ever. Born in Iowa, raised in Chicago (Illinois), and I live in Florida. I don't know much about Iowa since we moved to Chicago before I even turned 1, and I've never been back there.
