| Some things never change...but we keep fighting |
Amid the dystopia in which we are now living thanks to Donald Trump and his republican minions, it's easy to forget that those of us on the left have been fighting the evil on the right for a long time...and probably will be for as long as most of us may live.
Today is Woody Guthrie Day, a tribute to the man who fought the good fight for social justice and a fair economic system for all of us long before most of us were born. It's also a hopeful reminder of how far we have come, and though we still have far to go, that the promised land will be more than just a promise.
"This Land Is Your Land" is the greatest song ever written about America and an ode to both the beauty and the ugliness that resides herein. As I've already featured Guthrie's version, I'd like to feature his heir apparent, Bruce Springsteen, and his powerful version (which I had the good fortune of seeing live, though not on the night of the one featured below).
Enjoy while you, too, keep fighting the good fight:
Fuck Donald Trump,
