    Okay ... while this isn't Tom Cruise singing, I saw this movie when I was still a teen, and it still comes to mind when I see or hear the name "Tom Cruise"  It took forever to find this clip, since it's older than I am and I didn't remember the title of the movie.  

    Enjoy everyone ...

    And since tomorrow is the birthday of the country where I live, I just had to post this song by Aaron Tippin ...

    For my American friends in the United States, please be safe and have a wonderful Independence Day!  Everyone else, enjoy your Thursday!

    July 4                  ~ INDEPENDENCE DAY~

    Freedom. It is the only thing I would gladly die for. I love knowing that if the mood strikes me, I can get into my car, drive thousands of miles in most directions, freely and safely and see beauty everwhere. Mountains, deserts, vast forests, streams, mighty rivers, small towns, huge cities, the gulf, two oceans and my free fellow Americans. It is a great mood to bump into.

     God Bless America

    Lily
