    Props to the guy that stood there held the mic for him through the whole performance. I love the way he keeps updating this song, keeping it valid for every generation. He just becomes more and more valid.

    The Woody Guthrie of this stunned and vapid age, the man has few peers. Live forever, Billy, and do what you do.

    Got it. Makes sense. Hes an idealist with unrealistic expectations for mankind.
    But go point that piercing intellect at Zionism and international banking if you want to see the enemy get nervous Billy.

    “Great leap forward” the same title as that of chairman Mao, when he starved 50 million people to death. Seems like an odd title for a song,
    ..unless you are raging communist…?

      Unless you take the phrase at face value and sincerely believe in wanting a great leap forward for humanity without the associated baggage.
      The Right want us to slink back to our past and choose the worst aspects of it - given a choice between that and a leap forward, I know what I'd choose.
