I had to vote for Free Bird. Last night, my band played a gig at a local bistro and toward the end of the set, after some in the audience were well into their cups, a guy in the back yelled out "Free Bird". So we three just looked at each other, and I started playing it, vaguely remembering the chord progression from that last time I played it...50 years ago?

Mind you, it's not our sort of song. We have two guitarists and a dobro player, and we play originals and covers of people like John Prine. But what fun. You should have heard the dobro player play that face-melting solo.

But seriously: Free Bird makes a perfect patriotic American anthem, for white people and for everyone else as well. And this bird you cannot change!
