Celebrate the 4th with the greatest song ever written about America - and raise a glass to Woody Guthrie if you have a chance. He had a hell of a life and deserves to be remembered.
Pete Seeger (Guthrie's friend), his grandson Tao and Bruce Springsteen performing at President Obama's inaugural - a particularly sweet moment for Seeger after being declared a communist and suffering from the blacklist so many years before.

I love this story and these men. Seeger once very kindly wrote me a brief note about my river book, FLOW. I'd felt partial to him before that. Felt even more partial afterward.
Good stuff and happy fourth, Colleen!
