iPod Essentials #75: "Philadelphia Freedom"--Elton John

Ahhhh, the Summer of '75. Lazy days, Hide and Seek, Cul-De-Sac Tennis, and this song.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote this catchy tune to honor Billie Jean King, the terrific tennis player who beat Bobby Riggs in a Battle of the Sexes. If women can be free, why not our country as well? I remember hearing this song on July 4 and feeling excited about my future.
