Late last night I found a recording of this along with a discussion of how Bernie made the album, how it was proposed to him because he loved folk music, how he admitted that it felt nice to his ego, and how his cohorts in this scheme eventually realized that Bernie has absolutely no sense of rhythm (except in his speeches), can't even tap his foot in time. I was going to bring it over here and share w/bmus but was too tired and also too aware of my own Bernie-like limitations that keep me from being light and funny in the way that bmus is w/o even trying. So I can't keep the "rhythm" of the thread, which must be a tad irritating to a virtuoso like bmus.
Anyway, that video -- which I hadn't found -- is absolutely precious on so many levels, and I hope Bernie will use it in his campaign -- or that we the people spread it around the internet. It shows how unpolished and utterly sincere the man is, how simple and real and right on he is. I've admired many politicians; don't think I've ever loved one before.
So THANK YOU for this.
