[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Hell, even the hippies sang "This Land is Your Land" and they were as countercultural as it gets.[/quote] That's because "This Land is Your Land" IS "countercultural." Folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote it in response to "God Bless America" which he thought was trite. One verse you may not know: [i]In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple; By the relief office, I'd seen my people. As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me? [/i][/quote] It may espouse different sentiments but hardly radical ones. People put down our national anthem because they say it glorifies war. To the people of the day, it is a song about our survival. What is so bad about that ?[/quote]
