I remember when this concert aired on PBS. Many of my favorite folk singers (new and old) on the stage together. God I love Peter Paul and Mary.

The world's most feminist country, Iceland, didn't elect a woman until 1980. But they hung onto her for 16 years, which is longer than we kept FDR. I think we'll keep Hillary for 8 years.
