There's been so much heated rhetoric recently about who qualifies as a good American, what constitutes acceptable American values, and even whether or not our diversity is one of the strengths of America that I decided to record a video to highlight the concept that what makes America great is the promise that this is a land of equality & justice for all. I got some of my LA musician friends together to update that old Woody Guthrie song that says it in the most straightforward manner, this is a land for you, me, and everyone.
