In all seriousness, watching that for the first time I got as choked up as I did watching the videos for the new songs by Billy Bragg and Bruce Springsteen.
Hang in there, grannies.

Very sharp writing, marvelous performance - their YouTube page shows they have a number of things like this - the Piedmont Raging Grannies are apparently based in North Carolina - one hopes that the People Power - to use an old-fashioned phrase - will be victorious at this time when we need it most - the Minnesotans and Oregonians are setting a great example for the rest of us - we as a nation need to pay attention to the power that stands beside us, and guides us, through the Night with the Light from Above.
This actually connects more purely than the Boss's number. Now it's up to people to protect the electoral process in the mid-terms.
I haven't smiled this widely in months.
The people’s revolution?
