You know, it always feels good to play that song.
That song was inspired and written
when I was a kid by people who had come before me
and I thought that we're trying
to make a difference with music.
And so I really copied this song
and it was written by a guy named Woody Guthrie, right?
But I'm so humbled and pleasured to bring out the guy
who really made the song what it is.
When I was growing up, my parents used to play his records
and I would sit there and go,
wow, maybe I can do this someday.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pete Seeger.
