This time we go non-classical. There will be plenty of playlists like this posted today, and they may even include the same songs. So what? They’re great songs. That’s why we all love ‘em!

Start with Bruce. (And, as you’ll see, we’ll end with Bruce.) People sing along with this song as if it’s all “Go America!” but it isn’t. Instead, it’s about making America better, and that’s what America is really all about.

Look at this lineup! Linda Ronstadt, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray. And, of course, Chuck himself.

Let’s close with Bruce singing Woody Guthrie.

Have a great holiday!
