George M. Cohan

Since George M. Cohan wrote most of our obvious U.S.A. (not American, because that would include South America and Canada) "go kick some ass" songs, some find a satisfaction in listening to his version of what he wanted the "good ole U.S.A." to be.

James Cagney is famous for his portrayal of Cohan in the film "Yankee Doodle Dandy."



Next to watching Shirley Temple tap on stair steps, my fave is Cagney. He could dance the shit out of most people in his day!
