This Land

I'm not much interested in today's modern music makers, so I passed on the concert on the mall. But I like this bit with Pete Seegar, including the lines:

"As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me."

Via digby.

Update: Alas, the curmudgeons at HBO are claiming copyright on a free concert performed at the Lincoln Memorial. Shame on them. But I've replaced the clip with one from German television which is outside of HBO's creepy mitts. h/t Mark Evanier
