Blame the old TV show ‘Love America Style’… “Do it in the red white blue…” for somehow making 4th of July in my opinion the sexiest of holidays. You can have Valentines day, I’m not a fan. I find nothing romantic about a ‘made for Hallmark’ holiday. It is way more thrilling to get cards, candy, flowers etc.… on any random day—just cause. Now that is romantic!
For those unfamiliar with the show ‘Love America Style’ its on YouTube. It was a TV show from the 70s that I’m sure I was too young to be watching, but a single mom can’t control everything. My older brothers probably understood the sexy innuendo more than me. The theme song lyric’s were “love America style…do it in the red white blue” and the accompanying visual was of fireworks exploding in the air. I wonder what Freud would of thought of this? Hmmmm
Anyhow the short vignettes always had to do with love, sex and romance. By today’s standards adorably quaint, back then very scandalous for TV. Or maybe it was my age and the reaction of my mother when she found us watching the program.
Anyhow I love fireworks and so I loved the opening credits of this show.
Maybe it was that show or something else but I think there is nothing more romantic than a long summer day followed by a warm summer night lying on the beach watching fireworks over the ocean hopefully with someone you would like to do it with in the red white and blue. Happy 4th.
