I’m attempting to post a brief meditation on the daily quote from my Election Day advent calendar. Today brings us:
Take it easy,
but take it.
Woody Guthrie
This is the last line from Talking Union, a song encouraging workers to unionize. The final stanza:
That if you don’t let red-baiting break you up,
And if you don’t let stoolpigeons break you up,
And if you don’t let vigilantes break you up,
And if you don’t let race hatred break you up,
You’ll win. What I mean, take it easy, but take it!
