i hate the way that 'This Land Is Your Land' is turned into some gospel style singalong with happy-clappy instruments and big cheery choruses like a modern church hymn. It's SO much more effective with just some quiet guitar and soloist singing the lyrics with some introspection.
I hate the way this legenday and meaningful Woody Guthrie song gets put through the power-gospel machine like so many other great tunes :(
@MattyMozart Ah, no, actually the song was meant to be sung the way Pete is conducting it.

I think they should rename the Hudson River.
It ought to be called The Pete Seeger River.
