HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!

Perhaps in the future we will celebrate this day by closing jails

Bastille Day
Rush

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys

LET THE REVOLUTION START AT ED AND ELAINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... that's when Alex was as skinny as Geddy.

+1 to Tom ... I was going to post exactly that but you saved me the trouble

Factoid: my son was born by C-section. Which means, we got to choose the date to schedule the surgery. We were told we had about a 1-week plus-or-minus around mid-July. We chose... Bastille Day, of course!

Maxwell, of course, is always hopeful yet discontent. He demanded *out* on July 2 -- the date the Declaration of Independence was ratified. We, being now the "older generation", made him wait about 12 hours before actually letting him out on July 3.
