Not just for the Americans on my flist: Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen singing This Land Is Your Land. To this European, both Seeger and Springsteen always came across as examples of what American patriotism can be at its best - not bashing of other countries or ignoring flaws of their own, but a fierce love for their own and its virtues which very much also means seeing its darker sides.

This is like my favorite America song and has been since I was a kid. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this. I agree with you, that Pete Seeger is really the very best of American patriotism. (I don't know enough Springsteen to know.)
