I. Met Pete Seeger When I was a little girl. He came to my school. And I had met him at the door and I let in. He had come to talk to the kids about littering. He sang, and even got me to sing. I was six years old , and he told me that he believed that one voice singing out could change the world. I never forgot him. He was a voice that certainly did change the world! A wonderful man! An inspiration! -Tomalyn Sexton

When my daughter was in first grade, her school played a "patriotic tune" every morning over the PA system. I introduced her to this song, asked her if they ever played it, and discussed the backstory. She approached the Principal and asked to have it added to the "patriotic list" Unwittingly the Principal agreed. In 2018, as a college student, she was leading a "social advocacy DACA support" event on the streets of NYC, handed out words to the song and led members of a whole new generation in singing this with enthusiasm. Plant the seeds early and often!

I had the great pleasure to interview Pete Seeger around 1980 for our college radio station, WRPI. Jackie Alper, who sang with Pete and the Weavers, had a a show on WRPI and suggested I go talk to him. He was in a park in Albany where he had sailed with his sloop the Clearwater, and was giving a public demonstration on how to bend wood using a steam box to build your own boat. For all his fame, he was a very non-pretentious guy. I've always liked Bruce Springsteen as well and have so much respect for Bruce's publicizing Pete Seeger to a new generation through his Seeger Sessions recordings.

Collectively indispensable for the system, but individually worth nothing. Together we have the force to completely shut down the system. The rich business owners would have nothing if it weren't for the work we've done for them. But in return we get only a fraction of the worth we create.

Pete Seeger - and I think Bruce Springsteen - really understood what I deeply believe - that we are all human and should not treat one country or one 'race' as more important than another. We should all work together. Something we can see and hear in this excellent performance.

Woody Guthrie also wrote some cogent lyrics, later set to music, called "Old Man Trump", about Roy Trump's racist color-line policies (and an unrecorded verse to 'I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore' also refers to Old Man Trump in similar terms). When Obama was elected, we got wonderful events like the one in this video, and far too many of us became complacent. As Brecht wrote at the end of 'The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui' (a dark-comic parable about the rise of Hitler), “Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! / Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard / The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”

We were on weekend break from summer camp at Fort Drum and we drove to Montreal. Walking the Blvd. downtown to my surprise Pete Seeger was performing and I was able to get seats. The legendary icon brought the house down with his performance and audience participation. That was back in the 60's and remembered like it was yesterday.

What a performance! A shining moment at the Lincoln Memorial. As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me Chorus This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me. Chorus In the squares of the city By the shadow of the steeple By the Relief Office I saw my people As they stood there hungry I stood there whispering This land was made for you and me? A great high wall there tried to stop me A great big sign there said "Private Property" But on the other side it didn't say nothing That side was made for you and me. Chorus Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking on freedom highway Nobody living can make me turn back This land was made for you and me Chorus (Last verse not sung) When the sun came shining, and I was strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me.

The Indians did not know how to cope with this, neither did the government, until violence begat violence, and the Indians suffered the most. The song "My Country Tis Of Thy People Your Dying" tells some of the story.

I’m not American, but I watch a lot of American and global politics. To say things in my home country, the Netherlands, are a mess, would be an understatement. The same goes for the world as a whole. Not only the pandemic, but also climate change, inequality, homophobia, racism and poverty. Over the past two years, I’ve watched this video over and over and it has given me many different emotions. I have felt melancholic and sad about the state of the world, knowing what it was and could be. But it has also made me hopeful and determined. We, whether it’s the Netherlands, Europe or the US, can achieve incredible things when we work together. At times, I feel desperate and hopeless, but I can’t and won’t give up on humanity. What goes around comes around, we’re all in this together. It’s my strongest, deepest belief and I’ll always fight for that.

Listening to this rendition reminded me of how hopeful we were when Obama was elected... Seeger changed the lyrics for this inauguration the lyrics changed are “on a sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office, I saw my people. As they stood hungry I stood there wondering, “IF THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME ? “ The last verse criticizes the wealth disparity and inequality. He changed It I guess he felt triumphant when Obama won but 12 years later we are in a worse condition than we were before. Remember never stop protesting!

It's time for everyone to stand up for change, before it's too late. KZbin and Facebook are part of the problem. They spread the lies and hate that brought Trump to power. There are people spreading lies, false conspiracy theories, Vaccine denying, covid-19 denying, climate change denying, mask denying and more. Some of them are paid trolls who sit in office buildings or warehouses in front of computers along with hundreds more around them, spreading lies on our social media! There are Senators and Congressmembers investigating Facebook, Twitter, and KZbin spreading hate and missinformation. There is an advertizer boycott with over 1,000 companies and growing. The boycott includes Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, Microsoft, Verizon, Adias, Unilever, Starbucks, Levi Strauss, Coke, Pepsi, Hershey, Clorox, Rebox. The 1,000 companies (and growing by the day) have joined the Stop Hate For Profit movement started by the Anti Defamation League, NAACP and other civil rights groups.. Contact Proctor And Gamble, General Motors, Nike and others asking them to join in the "Stop Hate For Profit" movement.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYDUpZefqbdniNk 1

This Land Is Your Land Words and Music by Woody Guthrie This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
