1. Saw a bootleg on YouTube...

...of Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing 'This Land is Your Land' on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Almost enough to make me believe, as Jefferson said, that "we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.".

4. Cool.

Thanks. I was just there at the Lincoln Memorial last April--took my 12 year old nephew and my 11 year old niece up to DC to see all the monuments, memorials, and museums. Well, not all, but most! :)
