There was a dream and one day I could see it

I'm not sure how I feel about this sort of 'folk renaissance' that's going on in music right now. On one hand, bands like The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons are awesome and deserve all the publicity and accolades they get. On the other, you know this is going to lead to teenyboppers thinking they are so hip for listening to them and all sorts of imitators that are only half as decent. Still, I suppose anything that gets people to listen to folk music is a good thing.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time.

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it.
