I know Sam McClain personally and he was the one who gave me this video to post. He is one of the musicians on the clip and is very passionate about this project (Give Us Your Poor) and I hope this is not pulled. More people showld know about this and help support it.

This video goes to show that Natalie Merchant is an INCREDIBLE blues singer! If you ask me, there is not enough of Natalie Merchant singing lead. She's heard in the background for several measures, and that's it!

Natalie, you're an amazing human being

[toneythetigerrr]

be soooo proud. I have been in some of this....homeless, doesn't always mean yo have no home, sometimes it hjust means you have no home within your home. sometimes streets are better than the hatred at "home".....home is sometimes a lie!!!!"

I followed @MeredithBixby to the underscore site/ pinewood189 here on YouTube, in the middle of other videos shows a video- demeaning President Barack Obama. What I sense coming from my good opinion, is the intention of @MeredithBixby was to drive an audiance to belittle our president. Like I said before, we have bikers all across America that are FREEDOM FIGHTERS, and I doubt that they take kindly to people who make fun of AMERICA's Homeless and Impoverished, or President!

@toozblues Talking to potty mouth at: @MeredithBixby , get another site to pick on... these are my friends here and you are not invited with those kinds of comments!!! I am an American Veteran with back up in my whole heart and soul/// 75% of the Homeless in America are willing and want to be productive. It seems to me that you are vulgar and ego minded... Americans Care and Share, but come to Bend, Oregon and we'll talk or not!!! My friends are real- not hiding by money. Give it UP! Get a Life

[toozblues]

If you the potty mouth not so sensitive on the other side of the moon no-gooder and disrespectable bad guy can slow down for a second... come down to the North Side Bar and Grill in Bend, Oregon and climb the stage and share it there... We are all waiting for you/// me and my Biker friends/ FREEDOM FIGHTERS and we will let grandma deal with you and a biodegradible bar of soap... you did say that you were going to talk about the homeless this qway. I am a drywaller and martial artist/ then some!
