Son Of An American Dream is an homage to those brave souls throughout our history who experienced unthinkable hardships and sacrifices to come to America in search of a better life. And ultimately, through hard work and perseverance they achieved their American Dream and passed those dreams on to their children and grandchildren. Today however, many feel like America is drifting aimlessly and that our best days are behind us. There seems to be an unspoken yet ubiquitous fear this July 4th, among both young and old alike, that the American Dream is dead never again to be reclaimed. What can we as a country and as individuals do to change this? Reflecting on the lessons of my life, Ive come to learn that, for me, true independence and happiness comes from being self-reliant and not beholding to any person and/or entity for ones future well being and happiness. For history has taught us well that what someone gives you can oftentimes suddenly and callously be taken away (A helping hand can sometimes take a life). I hope my song, Son Of An American Dream inspires each of us this July 4th to reclaim our own American Dream. But to accomplish this we will all, young and old alike, need to come together and make some changes in our lives... get informed about and involved in the world around us... and consider supporting those representatives who will serve your interests and not their own (And I need no one to thread on me staring down upon their thrown). The road to freedom and independence is a life-long journey with several unforeseen detours and impediments along the way. On this July 4th, we as a nation seem to be hopelessly divided and may have even taken a wrong turn somewhere along this journey. But, in the end we make amends and somehow get it right. About this, I have no doubt. For we are all... each and every one of us... sons, and daughters, of an American Dream. Hold on to your Dreams, America... And Happy 4th of July to all!!!!! Bill Curreri
