made for you & me

A bit early for July 4th celebrations, but here's one of the best songs about America, Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed by the folks assembled for the Dark Was the Night tribute in New York a few months back (which totally ranks just under The Last Waltz in terms of concerts I deeply, intensely, painfully regret not being present for myself, except I was actually alive for this one, which almost makes it worse). I would totally vote for Sharon Jones if she ran for President. Not that I'm not still cool with Obama, y'all. Happy Birthday, America, and congrats on not being a total piece of crap this year! I'm heading up to Tennessee for a few days to celebrate, and hopefully the weekend will involve recreating Leon's cucumber cooler with my Mom and sister, and Joe's family and a boat, and possibly some blown-up shit.
