Subject: RE: Seeger & Springsteen at Obama Inaugural
I haven't been so moved in a long time! The sight of such a wonderful person (at 89!!!) leading a throng of thousands in the singing of "This Land is Your Land" was so stirring, and his appearance was so up-lifting, cheerful and optimistic, as Pete always is. No one more deserving appeared on those steps today. By his music and his comportment, his beliefs,throughout his life he has given renewed hope to so many. And he SKIPPED off the stage! Way to go, Pete!
