And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

It being exactly the compendium of "what people think", at that point this was the epitome of cool.
400 years later, this guy would have worn a black turtleneck and leather jacket, and been jumping a green fastback Mustang through the streets of San Francisco.
today he'd be the guy at the local open mic with a custom guitar and 10 effect pedals. took longer to set up his shit so he gets one song instead of three - AL Tru
He can make you love He can get you high He will bring you down Then he'll make you cry Somethin' keeps him movin' But no one seems to know What it is that makes him go
On another note (see what I did there?) I wonder if he ever had some asshole with a few too many meads in him shout "FREEEEEEEEEEEBIRD!!!!!!!" at him between songs.
Musician's always get the babes.

He was only cool because Leo and Les hadn't been born, yet. 'em boys changed EVERYTHING, for the better.
