Also streaming it on the web if you don't have cable or satellite.

Quite a line-up.

The Prez and fam are watching (in the 37 degree weather) James Taylor sing "things are gonna be much better if you only will.." as I type this.

Not outside of the USA, though......Grrr!

Oh man, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger's grandson, and several hundred thousand Americans singing "This Land is Your Land" (and including the "controversial" stanza), it doesn't get any bigger or better than this.

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

I was wondering when I heard them singing This Land is Your Land and I was singing along.

since I was not raised a JW, and we were raised patriotic in my house and grew up learning those songs.

If Witnesses know the words.

I was glad for the celebration, I hope that it gives Americans energy to persuvere to what's ahead of us.

I was thinking JW's as a group have to be the deadest bunch of people when it comes to showing excitement and

how badly it is to be so suppressed.

And Bono had to be so proud and honored to sing his song.

Thanks for posting that it was on, I was watching Idina Menzel on PBS.

I wondered where Bush was too?

Pride(In The Name of Love)

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One come he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
