I didn’t realize it until a few hours ago, but today is the 27th anniversary of the original theatrical release of Back to the Future<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Timely Persuasion<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0is a rock and roll time travel tale. \u00c2\u00a0The narrator is a washed up music critic who tends to speak in song lyrics. \u00c2\u00a0In honor of this promotion (and the birth of our great nation), he might reference the following:<\/p>\n

Fourth of July — with Lucy in sky — I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors. \u00c2\u00a0It was Independence Day…<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll call or write you a letter. \u00c2\u00a0Maybe we’ll see on the fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday, in the park, I think it was the fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

What ever happened I\u00c2\u00a0apologize. \u00c2\u00a0So dry your tears and baby walk outside. \u00c2\u00a0It’s the fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

Where do bad folks go when they die? \u00c2\u00a0They don’t go to heaven where the angels fly. \u00c2\u00a0They go to a lake of fire and fry. \u00c2\u00a0Won’t see ’em again ’til the fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

I should go out and honk the horn, it’s Independence Day…<\/em><\/p>\n

I can remember the Fourth of July runnin’ through the backwood bare…<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus the Mexican Boy, born in a truck on the fourth of July…<\/em><\/p>\n

Na, na, na, na, na, baby…<\/em><\/p>\n

Bonus!<\/strong> — Tangentially relevant excerpt from the book<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The best way to figure out anything is to try it again.\u00c2\u00a0 How?\u00c2\u00a0 I was just thinking about that 270 game, and then I was there.\u00c2\u00a0 Where to now?\u00c2\u00a0 My mind was a blank slate, waiting for the thoughts to come.<\/p>\n

Birthday!<\/p>\n

Fourth of July!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas!<\/p>\n

Leap year!<\/p>\n

Nothing.<\/p>\n

Figuring I wasn’t thinking hard enough, I got up and dug through my desk.\u00c2\u00a0 Eventually I found a word of the day calendar that hadn’t been changed since late January and randomly flipped to a page.\u00c2\u00a0 March eleventh.\u00c2\u00a0 The word was blink, as in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I’ll be back in a blink.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 Sounded good to me.\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s blink!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Happy fourth everyone!<\/p>\n
