was he out in 1992, because if he was not, that makes the song really sad to me.
The rumors were certainly around by then, but he wasn't publicly out until the public restroom incident which was several years later.
And that version of "Somebody to Love" is absolutely magnificent. That and the version of "Under Pressure" that David Bowie did with Annie Lenox at that concert were amazing.
I was always fascinated by the words "sea to shining sea" because when I first heard it in kindergarten, I never dreamed I'd see both of them, much less drive from one all the way to other on one trip.
I was raised on "This Land is Your Land" and variations that incorporated my personal country. So no surprise that something that blatantly embraces the land would get me. Well, and other stuff all principles and shit.

Thanks. I was in college then, and missed a whole lot of music and telelvision because I was so busy (this was pre everything being on the internet!) I remembered the restroom incident, but wasn't sure where to put it in order. I do remember watching the concert, which, looking at the date, seems impossible because we didn't have cable at school.
I can't think of many out male musicians, even today, which is making me sad, too.
I love This Land is Your Land. That song makes me tear up.

Jackie Chan?
Seriously? Please make him stop singing!
Oh, yeah, TLIYL is a total sucker punch for me, both of memories and meaning. I had cognative dissonance when I heard it sung at a waaay conservative location (jesus, I don't want to get into how unwelcome I felt just by signs alone) in Waco and cheered, but was prompted to recall it can hold a lot more interpretations than Guthrie intended. Which both irritated me and made me hold a little hope. It's a damned protest song that all those die-hard conservative-hating-my-peoples Texans were embracing. Now that's true subversion!
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Ah Woody...
HAWT FLOOR. What finish did you use?
diamond varathane water based poly satin finish
in this area a coat dries in about an hours --might take 2 up in your area. Matt used the gloss on guitars --- very shiny.
