and Seeger’s grandson, Tao Rodríguez-Seeger. They played the Woody Guthrie classic “This Land Is Your Land” and included the controversial “private property” verse. Check out the video right here.

Later that year, Springsteen played Seeger’s 90th-birthday concert at Madison Square Garden and looked back at the historic moment. “That day, as we sang ‘This Land Is Your Land,’ I looked at Pete — the first black president of the United States was seated to his right — and I thought of the incredible journey that Pete had taken,” Springsteen said.

Just incase anyone forgot what this country is about ~

Nah

I was there and watched this awesome event in person. Loved it.

Then Obama proceeded to double down on the wars and torture and jailing of whistleblowers, and Springsteen forgot all about his anti war and pro civil liberties stance and made another $100mil pretending to give a shit about the workin’ man.

No and you can't make me.

joansafont Joan, jo recordo molt bé que el capítol de cançons els U2 amb 'Pride (in the name of love)...

I was one of the 400,000 attendees at the We Are One concert. I also attended the inauguration and parade. All the inaugural festivities were peaceful and unifying, and we never felt unsafe. WTH has happened to our country?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for this reminder of more hopeful times. Looking forward to America’s new chapter.

I remember. 💙💞🎉
