They call it Rolling Thunder. And with good reason.
At six this morning from my bedroom window I could make out a low level
rumble in the city that you never normally hear.
A preacher veers a little bit off course, with some strong language,
as he says: "And if you wish harm upon this country then you are
a son of a bitch, and may you burn in hell."
Huge crowds are lining the streets. People are waving and saluting the vets.
Some seem overcome by emotion and are tearful as they wave at some of
the old boys on their Harleys.
It's hard to do solemnity when you have the deep, basso throb of the combined orchestra of thousands of 1700cc v-twin Harley Davidson engines - but somehow these former vets pull it off. Though not all of it is entirely biblical
