We Are One

The We Are One concert was pretty amazing, even if we couldn't get very close. Seeing the Mall filled like that was actually pretty moving. And Garth Brooks doing (a small part of) American Pie and Shout? Awesome. But the absolute best part was Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen doing This Land Is Your Land. And they included all the obscure verses no one ever hears anymore!

In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

I was bouncing up and down.

Also: It's really unfortunate that HBO didn't broadcast Bishop Robinson's invocation. It was really good.
