6. Fantastic!

I am lucky enough to be in France today (La Rochelle) for the celebration. We are waiting for the wonderful firework display over the port.

I was in Paris in 1966 to watch deGaulle riding in the parade up the Champs deElysses with the French air force in formation overhead. What a great experience that was!

Viva la France!

7. But have you ever checked out the words? Pretty ugly. But yes, a great song.

And Rick's nod is one of the greatest moments in movie history.
