Because Woody would so be there

[hootinholler]

I think Bernie's supporters should start singing "This Land Is Your Land" while waiting for Bernie to come to the stadium.

I suspect that Woody "This machine Kills Fascists" Guthrie would approve whole heartedly, both of the use of his epic song and Bernie's candidacy.



Plus what is more American than a sing-along? Maybe we should form filking groups for mass transit.

1. Yes - I Will No Longer Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

2. Great idea! Love the symbolism! Make It So!

Just tweeted it out to try to get it started!

3. Sharon Jones

And with the Dap-Kings.

4. Woody would love it. And Bernie, too.

Maybe someone should get in touch with Arlo. How cool would it be to see Arlo singing that song at a Sanders rally?

[hootinholler]

5. Sadly, I'm not sure if Arlo would be up for it

I know he would be in spirit.

6. And this.

7. I think Bernie actually has an album where he sings this song.

8. In a William Shatner style

Ya, there is that.

Why are you giving ammunition to the Hillary supporters?

[azmom]

9. I love it!!!

[mmonk]

10. Yep, he sure would be in our corner.

11. Need a little red songbook. n/t

[hootinholler]

12. I see what you did there.

Thin ice, dude.

13. Actually I sang from one in North Carolina, so why don't you shove your insinuation?

Damn proud of it too.

Anyone who wouldn't is likely a traitor to this country.

14. My apologies for my ignorance

I thought it was a reference to Mao's little red book, a jab about socialism.

Thanks for the clue!

19. <G> Not a problem. But it's the second time I have gotten a similar

reception to a simple question or remark from a Bernie supporter. Interesting, since he is the only person I can even consider voting for. Many of his supporters seem very defensive, and don't seem to be able to conceive that he really does have a lot of support.

That's too bad, as it could cost him, maybe a lot. His opponents supporters aren't defensive at all, not in the slightest, which makes them appear much stronger. I really hate that, but it interests me because I have a hypothesis that one of his most insidious barriers is the lack of vision/ability of some of his most ardent supporters. He will need to get over them to win, I think. Pointless to discuss it now, since human nature says they aren't gonna change. I guess we will see in a year or so.

That's a great songbook, btw. If you can get people to eat together, and sing those songs together, they can change things.

15. Things are getting to the point where this song will be a campaign song...

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

17. This is delightful. Thanks for sharing.

[daleanime]

18. K&R....

Great idea.

[Javaman]

20. I have always thought that song should be our national anthem.

still get a lump in my throat when I sing it or hear it.

[babylonsister]

21. I imagine this guy would have liked Bernie, too...

I wonder where Bruce lands?

22. If he ain't already

I suspect The Boss will be on board soon.

[boston bean]

23. He's already done that! Even sang it himself!
