Thank you Woodie Guthrie , the father of American folk music, for these lyrics he wrote in about 1938, while visiting Long Beach

I just know I'll never hear this song with dry eyes ever again. Yesterday it came on my shuffle as I was crossing a bridge on the last leg of a trip to the beach with my wife, my son, my dog (and hopefully nobody I know sees this cuz it's still a secret, but we also have an extra passenger in my wife's tummy!) and that thing happened where the movement of the water made it almost feel like I was driving backwards for a second. And I just thought some force was pushing me back so I could just stay there in that perfect moment for longer. I swear the song was at least 15 minutes long!

What consummate professionals! Jeff called it out, made light of it like an elite Front Man. Pat and Nels just absorbed that misstep and turned this into my favourite version of this song. Glenn and Mikael didn't even flinch. They gave us an extra verse, basically. John's recovery was a a schooling in the art of showmanship.
