Saturday Music Hall: Our Land

With all the freedom grabs being instituted by George Bush's neocon nightmare team, I thought I'd feature a song that urges the people to take the freedom highway all over this American landscape. No trespassing my eye. This land -- this freedom -- was made for you and me, not for the greedy conglomerate builders, not for the property rights at any cost bunch, not for the police state thugs. This is Woody Guthrie's old song performed by Arlo Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen,Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris, Little Richard, Bono and John Mellencamp in a 1988 tribute to Woody, who had a sticker on his guitar that said "This machine kills fascists."

This reminds me--I was writing a post about Woody the other day and forgot to finish it.

Loved the eighties-era Bono!

Me too. And I never ever thought I'd see Little Richard singing any Woody Guthrie tunes....
