On January 18, 2009, Seeger joined Bruce Springsteen, grandson Tao Rodríguez-Seeger, and the crowd in singing the Woody Guthrie song "This Land Is Your Land" in the finale of Barack Obama's Inaugural concert in Washington, D.C. The performance was noteworthy for the inclusion of two verses not often included in the song, one about a "private property" sign the narrator of the song violates, and the other making a passing reference to a Depression-era relief office.

Pete Seeger will be 90 this May. He was a huge part of folk music and protest/civil rights culture in the middle of the 20th century. Seeger was blacklisted in the 1950s and banned from radio and television into the 1960s. I'm glad he lived long enough to see the changes he sang about for decades start to come to life.

Here's video of Seeger and Arlo Guthrie (Woody's son) singing the song in 1993.
