A Saturday serenade for Ammon Bundy and his scofflaws

Here’s some music from 1976 by Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie that gets to the heart of the issues raised by the Doofus Brigade’s occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, public land that belongs to you and me. Public lands never had a better friend than Pete Seeger. Guthrie, now 68, was a liberal Democrat as a young man, then turned Republican and Libertarian as he aged. Studs Terkel introduces This Land.
