we welcome Russian Tzar

July 4th is a special day for Boston and Bostonians. The firework is not the biggest in the country but certainly is different because of the music accompaniment. the ordinary people are always looking for excitement and the good government (a ruler) is obliged to keep own people happy. The "bread and circus" law, that has been discovered once by Caesar many years ago, was perhaps the most important achievements of the governing system through the centuries.
Yankees love to have fun in the way if they think it is cool no matter what they do. The Independence day is the day when they want to show their patriotism and loyalty to the USA.







Either you belong to the democratic party or ideas of conservative republicans closer to your ideals, you are showing your love to american freedom and the constitution (even you have no idea what is inside of it).





Nevertheless you caring the polyurethane crown from the "statue of liberty", you are painting your face with the thre-color-american flag. Its cool to wear the shirt with american flag. It's OK to dance and jump during the performance of the "Overture 1812" by Tchaikovsky. When trumpet starting to play the fragment of the "Marseillaise" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Marseillaise we are screaming and jumping as much as we do when Emerald adding some garlic or alcohol to his sauce - "Bam-Bam!!!".
Everybody is waiting the Overture! in Boston it's as much important music as the Yankee Doodle or the "God bless America". We are sensitive about it. We are pressing our hand to the chest and hollering like beluga during its horsing "God bleeeeesss Americaaaaah! My home sweeeeet home!". We are wiping our tears when we are listening the "1812". We are waving with american flag especially for theme (melody) in the "Overture"'s coda "God save the Tzar" (Боже царя храни). We are waiting for the final canon shot. We are waiting for the firework.
Next to me the older gentleman with his wife, enthusiastically waving with a small american flag and dapping for The "God save the Tsar".
His shirt crafted from american flag. His shorts are crafted from american flag. The same his cap and his sneakers. His gray beard and mustaches are groomed. His over-mid-age wife painted her face as american flag. I am jealous. I don't feel such patriotic excitement
I am asking him if he knows what kind of music he is enjoying so much...'
- mmm... I think it's something french...
me: Nah... this is Russian
he: Really
Me: yes.. and I think it is kind of apolitical to play such music which is glorifying the Russian monarchy when we are celebrating the revolution and freedom from the Royal Monarchy.
He: Oh, I did not know... Monarchy you said?
Me: yes, it's not even British Monarchy.. this is about glorifying the Russian Monarchy

The gentleman was certainly disturbed an d he stopped waving with his flag. I feel myself as and asshole who screwed the holiday to the such patriot.

he stepped out. I felt he hates me.

After a few minutes of thinking he approached back to me.

He: Do you know what is the biggest beauty of our country??
me: ???
He: The beauty is that even Russian Tsar is welcomed to our country!!! and he smiled!

Here you go! It was the cool reply!
