we were blessed with this man Johnny Cash I say, he sang with all heart and loved this country to his last day.. RIP Mr Cash..thank you for your wonderful music.. God Bless the Cash family...
I regret this song is always CENSORED. Both of Woody Guthrie's verses below are mostly unknown. But...is it any wonder why? "As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tresspassin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!" "In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me."
This song is, quite obviously, not an anti-American song. It is a protest against Fascism, from what could happen to America. Look that up in your Funk & Wagnall's. Seriously, how more obvious can Woody be on that point? Look at the sign, duh. And he doesn't have a gun; he is holding that terribly feared, very scary guitar. Lighten up, people. The man was pro-America. We need more of that.
Amazing delivery from The Man in Black. Cash 'live' was as good as it gets. That voice combined with a dynamic charisma, professional stagecraft and electric magnetism all contributed to making JR one of the fist international superstars of the rock era - yes the rock era. Cash transcends boundaries, and the magic of YouTube will enable fans to remember Cash forever. R.I.P JR, Waylon & Marty Robbins.
I remember this show. I was had just turned 15 and remember sitting on my piano bench watching this on tv with tears rolling down my cheeks at the beauty of his voice and this song.
Great idea RasputinSir– lets have politicians, the most corrupt group of individuals in the country (that is a fact btw, not opinion) regulate businesses. Its like being upset with your dogs bothering the hens so you hire a fox to guard the hen house.
btw do you even know who Rasputin was? And if so, why on earth would you take such a name...
but we complain when they come to our nation because they are black or brown .
i am no racist but black people do tell pink european people about the british empire and pink people turn nasty at other pink people .
black people have been known to bully pink people and when the pink person gets angry then the black person laughs out loud but the nasty pink people do fight the pink victim .
by black i mean origin from the african continent .
@ukgreaterlondon Pink? are u fucking serious? u so ashamed to be white u call yourself pink? Man fuck what those niggers think, Just because you are white doesn't mean u can't have pride and not be called a racist. Just remember blacks are human too they bleed just as we do punch that fucker in his big lipped mouth for pissing u off. don't let yourself be walked on take a stand and stand up for yourself and what u believe in. Violence fucking rules!
IT IS PATRIOTIC ,,TO WANT TO CONTROL THE INDUSTRIES & BUSINESSES IN THIS COUNTRY,THEY NEED TO BE TOLD NOT TO POLLUTE THE AIR ,WATER &LAND BECAUSE AT HEART WHEN THEY GET TO BIG THEY GET TOO GREEDY&CARE FOR NOTHING &NO ONE.
who cares nothing wrong is with a little socialism its better than having full on capitalism then the banks own everything and johnny cash is a good man so shut your traps haters stop drinking your haterade or ill ram it up your bunghole
Thanks Johnny for this and God bless America. A country that is able to correct wrongs and is a beacon of freedom. We now have what we deserve because we left this reverence for America and God behind with Johnny's generation.
@rarehunter021 people are ALSO forgetting that America used to be full of indians, and then we killed them all and took their land. Technically this is their land, but we just stole it.
Darn, he would have been a great politician. You just can't help but listen to him, and he genuinely loved America. God bless America and all those who seek life, liberty, and happiness.
I just realized: Everyone is missing the importance of this songs words.
Regardless of race, gender, and religion, we must come together as a nation. We fight each other of the stupidest things when we should be coming up with ideas to fix our problems. We have completely lost touch with why this nation was founded in the ashes of war, and fight because someone has a different skin color, or a different lifestyle, or even a different weight. And what do we accomplish with that?
A song of how great this land use to be, preformed by one of the greatest legends in folk/country music. Listen and remember how beautiful this country was.
@MrYdomano Why do you bother to try and convert those who don't want anything to do with religon. Not to bash the Christian faith, but the world would be a hell of a better place is morons didn't go pushing this kind of stuff on to other people like they have some desire to control others lives.
@MrYdomano Well how is age related to being wise?, age is irrelevant to knowledge as proven by many in our society. Again, the Bible just isn't factual, as i said, it's based on hearsay and has been edited multiple times throughout history there is also no outside sources for any of the miracles in the book. You also have to acknowledge the other claims that others Gods exist, what makes your God true and all other gods false?, why isn't Zeus, Thor or Shiva your God of choice?
@MrYdomano The Bible is not proof of anything, it's just a heavy editing book of hearsay, there is no outside evidence to show proof of anything significant. You also have other books that also say the same thing, worship there God for he is the way to save yourself and on top of thousands of different denominations all believing something different etc. But again, there is no actual evidence to prove any of it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Now let's all send this to all politicians specially Republicans that want to take away and privatize everything so their friends running those business make millions on something that was giving to all of US.
@newnoldschoolgaming Rupublicans are the true Americans and believe in freedom. This includes a free market. want you want is Socialist (non-americans).
@uhhh54321 you shouldn't be sorry for the bullshit your ancestors committed. I'm Australian and feel the same way with aboriginals here. Your country never ceases to amaze me (mostly with retarded nonsense, yet some however are good :P). Whenever i hear this song i feel weirdly patriotic because I'm not American but oh well it's a great song.
all the talented musicians died... that and 'professional' song writers who lost their inspiration years ago (or never had any) began writing music. it's how we went from awesome talent like Johnny Cash to whiny voices little bitches like Justin Bieber.
@korriken Hey, now, there are some good songwriters left. Mike Patton, Maynard James Keenan, Buzz Osborne, Tomas Kalnoky, and Trey Spruance are good examples of songwriters with artistic integrity who haven't been killed off or sold out.
@xgmb45 What is more patriotic than protesting capitalism run amok? Our founders and greatest historical leaders were always suspicious of tyranny and corporations both. Standing up against concentrated power is exactly what our founders expected from us as citizens. I love this song
@xgmb45 that is a hilariously sophmoric and banal understanding of the song. Its a completely patriotic celebration of this land and the American people who have built the greatest freedom loving country in the world here. Don't be so naive. Woody Guthrie was an American Patriot and this is a most patriotic song.
@xgmb45 Why you suppose that a protest-song against capitalism can not be a patriotic song?. To much propaganda mixing capitalism with being a good American.
That's right, good point. I guess it's natural to interpret something to mean something that's particularly meaningful to oneself. Still, it's original meaning treats more profoundly human themes than patriotism can ever be.
The more hatred I see for America, the prouder I become. Everyone envies what they dont have. I have America, and all these lovely opportunities. We Americans have a good thing going here. Everyone else is simply jealous. Proud to be an American!
@Edcastaneda1 Most people that have jobs and homes would tend to agree with you. I also am proud of many things our country does. Do those who are unhappy still deserve a voice? The Constitution provides and protects the right for the people to voice their concerns.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple; By the relief office, I'd seen my people. As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me?
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me; Sign was painted, it said private property; But on the back side it didn't say nothing; This land was made for you and me.
@IAwkwardSilence Hey Hemorrhoid, it's called sarcasm. We all talk about being so proud to be an American, but forget about the people who were the real natives of this country.
this isnt a patriot song its a protest song..its a song of socialist/anarchy..a song of community caring for one another and the whole world..not trying to hate people all around the world..trying to survive with each other..sharing the world and working together not exploiting each other..now its not made for u and me..this land is property of the kats who make 200k an hour..who exploit us and the world for money..who back wars to make money
Hell, anyone who knows the smallest bit about Johnny Cash, knows that he stood up for the native Americans plight, he released a album in 1964 called bitter tears, I suggest those who obviously dont have a clue of the man listen to some of the songs on that album.
@TRANSAM19777 He was one of the few to do so, as well. It was pretty unfashionable in 1964 for a white man to do such a thing. Johnny was well ahead of everyone.
@cheer56781 From a Canadian to my American friends: Happy 4th! Johnny does the Guthrie song supreme justice. Also, this song says more about America than all of the jingoistic stuff we usually hear. Woody sang for the common folk, the hard-working people. Johnny took the song and gave it new life. A perfect pair!
The indians did not own this land. God gave us this earth to have power over, all men to have power over. And we fought and many men died so you could have a home today, and you want to give it back therefor sying those men died for nothing?
@Smiley28064212 A few weeks ago at church camp at service, every single person was filled with the Holy Spirit and was speaking in tongues. I couldnt stop crying. It was an incredible experience.
@onetwothree374 Ask any other Christian about their encounters wiith God. I can assure you he is real and i'm not lying. Believe what you want, but I have my experiences, and NO ONE can take that from me :)
@TheBostonCeltic Its when the Holy Spirit fills you and it enables you to speak in another language (you dont even know what the heck your saying) and in some cases God enables another person to know what your saying. Its really cool
@dchains You think your comment that makes no sense affects me? And do you really think that no matter what you say to me at the end of the day i dont just feel sorry for you? At the end of the day Im happier, I know whats right, and i can talk about it with mature and concrete reasoning.
Oh, you say you talked to him? Cool Im glad you got to chat. :)
@dchains I dont have evidence personally, at least not that i can share with you. Though you dont have evidence against either. And really, I dont care about evidence. Life is too short not to believe in god. It doesnt affect me negatively, and I just dont like the idea that it all ends when you die. (not that if im wrong ill get to complain about it or anything, ha) just my stance
@shadowzard7 Well it's not the disbeliever that needs to disprove it's existence, if someone claims something to be true and real then they must provide reasonable evidence for there claim. If a belief in a God or whatever else helps you then that's fine, i only hate when other peoples beliefs impact other peoples lives(which happens often).
Also i enjoy the idea that after we die it all ends, it allows us to realize how precious it is just to be alive.
I like how you all are saying this land is stolen....
The native americans never "owned" America, they just lived there. This is because they didn't believe land could be owned, and I think they were right, how can you claim a piece of this earth?
@NutritiouslyHigh It's accenting the word. So if said, it'd be like "I came here because I like GOOD music". It's as close as I can get to italicized words.
Why do some people bother listening to Johnny Cash and to this song if they hate it all so much? It's just as easy to search on You Tube for postings by America haters so why not just go there and wallow in that mud? Happy Fourth of July to those of you who understand why we celebrate. And to those who don't....listen to the words of the songs that are being sung this weekend and then go do some reading. The Declaration of Independence is a good place to start.
if the British government, not the protestant Christians, attempted to settle in america in its first years. there would have been wholesale slaughter of the native Americans. yes at times there was war between the settlers and natives. but it was usually due to accidental things like bringing in foreign diseases, and the natives thought they were being cursed.
for the most part they tried to make peace....something the Brits would have never cared for.
Had it not been for the imperialistic policies of the US government , America would have been the most loved country in the world . I still love the american people (not the government ) , the ones who have helped my country so much .
@salmanpakipaki i agree, I am an American, and i think our government is very corrupt. maybe not in its conception, but it grew that way. its sad to think what could have been if the power and money had not effected our growth. its nice to know that not everyone hates us though :)

@cheer56781 From a Canadian to my American friends: Happy 4th! Johnny does the Guthrie song supreme justice. Also, this song says more about America than all of the jingoistic stuff we usually hear. Woody sang for the common folk, the hard-working people. Johnny took the song and gave it new life. A perfect pair!

The indians did not own this land. God gave us this earth to have power over, all men to have power over. And we fought and many men died so you could have a home today, and you want to give it back therefor sying those men died for nothing?

@Smiley28064212 A few weeks ago at church camp at service, every single person was filled with the Holy Spirit and was speaking in tongues. I couldnt stop crying. It was an incredible experience.

@cheer56781 bullshit fuck god he isnt real, you have no hard evidence, i can say that exact same thing. Your lying.
onetwothree374 6 months ago
@onetwothree374 Ask any other Christian about their encounters wiith God. I can assure you he is real and i'm not lying. Believe what you want, but I have my experiences, and NO ONE can take that from me :)
cheer56781 6 months ago
@cheer56781 What is speaking in tongues? Just curious?
TheBostonCeltic 6 months ago
@TheBostonCeltic Its when the Holy Spirit fills you and it enables you to speak in another language (you dont even know what the heck your saying) and in some cases God enables another person to know what your saying. Its really cool

@dchains You think your comment that makes no sense affects me? And do you really think that no matter what you say to me at the end of the day i dont just feel sorry for you? At the end of the day Im happier, I know whats right, and i can talk about it with mature and concrete reasoning.
Oh, you say you talked to him? Cool Im glad you got to chat. :)

@shadowzard7 What is you evidence your your particular God?
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains I dont have evidence personally, at least not that i can share with you. Though you dont have evidence against either. And really, I dont care about evidence. Life is too short not to believe in god. It doesnt affect me negatively, and I just dont like the idea that it all ends when you die. (not that if im wrong ill get to complain about it or anything, ha) just my stance
shadowzard7 6 months ago
@shadowzard7 Well it's not the disbeliever that needs to disprove it's existence, if someone claims something to be true and real then they must provide reasonable evidence for there claim. If a belief in a God or whatever else helps you then that's fine, i only hate when other peoples beliefs impact other peoples lives(which happens often).
Also i enjoy the idea that after we die it all ends, it allows us to realize how precious it is just to be alive.

I like how you all are saying this land is stolen....
The native americans never "owned" America, they just lived there. This is because they didn't believe land could be owned, and I think they were right, how can you claim a piece of this earth?
You do not own America, you just live there.

@NutritiouslyHigh It's accenting the word. So if said, it'd be like "I came here because I like GOOD music". It's as close as I can get to italicized words.

Why do some people bother listening to Johnny Cash and to this song if they hate it all so much? It's just as easy to search on You Tube for postings by America haters so why not just go there and wallow in that mud? Happy Fourth of July to those of you who understand why we celebrate. And to those who don't....listen to the words of the songs that are being sung this weekend and then go do some reading. The Declaration of Independence is a good place to start.

if the British government, not the protestant Christians, attempted to settle in america in its first years. there would have been wholesale slaughter of the native Americans. yes at times there was war between the settlers and natives. but it was usually due to accidental things like bringing in foreign diseases, and the natives thought they were being cursed.
for the most part they tried to make peace....something the Brits would have never cared for.

@salmanpakipaki i agree, I am an American, and i think our government is very corrupt. maybe not in its conception, but it grew that way. its sad to think what could have been if the power and money had not effected our growth. its nice to know that not everyone hates us though :)
