#1 Yes. Hope.
Somewhere there must be prog teachers and admin having a hissy. But, they're not in charge.

#3 Bobby, I could hug ya... but I won't. So could my mom... and she would... but she can't. So you're safe. Seriously, thanks for this. Don't get much peer reinforcement for liking this stuff these days.

Wikipedia page on "Grand Old Flag".

Cagney medley clip from "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942). Not the lousy old one but a nice sharp print posted by some subversivo on the 4th of July.

#4 ^ Thanks! Didn't know Jimmy Cagney could hoof it. He's pretty light on his feet (the tap dancing sequence comes at the end of the video).

#5 Cagney was an old timer that started in Vaudeville
they all could sing and dance up a storm, reaal performers.

I'm old, but not old enough to have seen him for real. Just old B&W movies on TV.

#6 Looks like he tossed in an Irish jig maneuver there too.

#7 ^ Some of that in this, too (w. Hope, from Seven Little Foys, 1955)

but not here: Taxi! (1932) – Cagney's First On Screen Dance. Nice reversion to type at the end.

#8 My grandchildren are 9th generation Texans. I hope and pray their grandchildren will still have a Texas.
