From the documentary film The People Speak
The film, "The People Speak," is based on the work of Howard Zinn, celebrates democracy, based on the lives and experiences of ordinary Americans who, through their words and actions, changed the course of history, from the founding of this country to the civil rights movement and beyond, according to a press release.
"The music artists came to this project because of the hope they have for what 'The People Speak' will do for a new generation," said Chris Moore, one of the film's executive producers, along with Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and others. "Writing speeches and books is one way to bring about change; music is another. There is a long history of music serving as an inspiration for others to stand up and make a difference. One song can affect people unlike anything else."

Back when I was a young punk, just 16 years old and I knew everything, my brother Kevin gave me a John Steinbeck book. I'm not sure even he realized, at that moment, what an impact that simple gesture would have on my life...

Played in C minor. His Capo looks like 2nd fret so he must be detuned a half step as well. Classic song and detuned guitar from the boss. I often find he likes to detune a whole step as well. Love his music and what a bright, wise dude as well. Best wishes.

His best work, in my humble opinion. You completely hosed the aspect ratio (meant in jest), but otherwise a great share. Thanks.
