  3. @amstray @SkipHuffman @VeryBadLlama Melody is hard to sing. Difficult for most folks. Lyrics need reworking as well. I agree that #ThisLandIsYourLand will work

  4. Back in June of 1991, my dearly departed mother took me to see Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie at Orchestra Hall in Chicago.

    I still have fond memories of Pete Seeger's music and his rendition of This Land is Your Land.

    We really need to make this our national anthem and include all the verses Woody Guthrie wrote. People need to know, this is our country, not that of the billionaires.

  5. Musical Interlude: My mother said something to me of how patriotic songs aren't sung anymore. I thought I hear some...but then I remembered she and I have different ideas of what a patriotic song should be. If you were to ask me to name a patriotic song, this would be the first one to come to mind...

  6. In honor of Mojo Nixon, who died the other day, his excellent version of This Land is Your Land

    On a bright sunny morning
    In the shadow of a steeple
    By the relief office
    I seen my people
    And they were hungry
    And they were wondering
    Does this land belong to you and me?

    This land was made for everybody
    Each and everyone of us!
    The old, the young, the poor, the rich
    The black, the brown, yella, the red
    Everybody!
    No matter what religion you have
    No matter what part of the world you come from to here
    This piece of dirt under our feet
    Doesn't belong to just one person
    The person with the most lawyers doesn't own all of it
    It belongs to everybody!
    I'm not just talking about the dirt right underneath our feet here
    The whole world
    The whole Earth belongs to everybody
    Each and everyone of us
    Each and everyone of us on the planet
    Owns all the planet

  7. @DemocracyMattersALot @tomlevenson

    Good time to remember the final three verses that are often omitted by school books and right-wingers

    Life-long radical #Guthrie issues a harsh challenge to the ways of #capitalism

  8. Let's celebrate #NationalTreeWeek. Whilst condemning the decision of The Conservators of Ashdown Forest to introduce car park charges. The Forest is a public amenity. And, as CPRE Sussex
    pointed out, charges deter people from visiting, conflict with public health policy, no case has been made for the financial viability of the charging scheme. Which ignores East Sussex County Council's backstop legal duty to fund the Conservators.
