From Democracy Now 20 January 2009 That was Barack Obama on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday before hundreds of thousands of people. The event ended with a rousing round of this "This Land Is Your Land." Pete Seeger was the special guest. He sang with Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger's grandson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger. Now, many people — I'm sure you know "This Land Is Your Land." But what he managed to do is sing the original song, the rarely performed Woody Guthrie verse : "I came to a sign that said private property, but on the other side it didn't say nothing. That side was made for you and me."
