And 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—I thought of the incredible journey that Pete had taken. You know, my own growing up in the ’60s, a town scarred by race rioting, made that moment nearly unbelievable. And Pete had thirty extra years of struggle and real activism on his belt. He was so happy that day. It was like, Pete, you outlasted the bastards, man. You just outlasted them. It was so nice. It was so nice. At rehearsals the day before, it was freezing. It was like fifteen degrees. And Pete was there, he had his flannel shirt on. I said, “Man, you better wear something besides that flannel shirt!” He says, “Yeah, I’ve got my long johns on under this thing.” I said—and I asked him, I said, “How do you want to approach ‘This Land Is Your Land’?” as it’d be near the end of the show. And all he said was, “Well, I know I want to sing all the verses. You know, I want to sing all the ones that Woody wrote, especially the two that get left out, you know, about private property and the relief office.” And I thought, of course, you know, that’s what Pete’s done his whole life: he sings all the verses all the time, especially the ones that we’d like to leave out of our history as a people, you know?]]> zh-tw Roodo Blog System All Rights Reserved http://blog.roodo.com/SoundsandFury/archives/8889469.html http://blog.roodo.com/SoundsandFury/archives/8889469.html#comment-19942703 文章回應 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:57:03 +0800 http://blog.roodo.com/SoundsandFury/archives/8889469.html http://blog.roodo.com/SoundsandFury/archives/8889469.html#comment-19942335 mark.lientw@gmail.com(MARK LIEN) 文章回應 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:47:19 +0800
