As dusk fell, they danced barefoot on the grass, small children and
straw-hatted grannies, fat and slim, rich and poor, white, black,
Hispanic-American, Indian-American, Chinese-American, while the
irresistible beat of the zoot-suited Big Bad Voodoo Daddy band pounded
from the stage. Some of the dancers looked great, others ridiculous,
but they didn't give a damn. Then fireworks erupted into the spacious
night sky, and a leather-faced man in a cowboy hat cried: "Red! White!
Blue!"
