Tell me brother, have you heard From Johannesburg? What's the word? Sister/woman have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Are defyin' the Man. We don't know for sure because the news we get Is unreliable, man. Well I hate it when the blood starts flowin', But I'm glad to see resistance growin'. Somebody tell me what's the word? Tell me brother, have you heard From Johannesburg? They tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines. They may not get the news but they need to know We're on their side. Now sometimes distance brings misunderstanding, But deep in my heart I'm demanding: Somebody tell me what's the word? Sister/woman have you heard 'Bout Johannesburg? I know that their strugglin' over there Ain't gonna free me, But we all need to be strugglin' If we're gonna be free. Don't you wanna be free? .

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INTRODUCING GRACE’S ROCKIN’ ROLL ADVENTURE FEATURING ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER LITTLE STEVEN VAN ZANDT A NEW BOOK THAT USES MUSIC TO EMPOWER TEACHERS AND INSPIRE YOUNG STUDENTS IN READING, SCIENCE, AND MATH --Book and accompanying “STEAM” Lesson Plan Launched as Part of Rock and Roll Forever Foundation’s K-12 TeachRock Initiative --- New York, NY (October XX) – Grace’s Rockin’ Roll Adventure, a new children’s book featuring the characters from The Musical Adventures of Grace series accompanied by rock star and actor Steven Van Zandt, connects music and early elementary reading, science, and math. Developed as a partnership between TeachRock.org, the main initiative of Van Zandt’s Rock and Roll Forever Foundation, and author Ken Korber’s Center for Functional Learning, the book also features an accompanying lesson plan that engages the youngest learners in a fun, music-filled “STEAM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) project. Grace’s Rockin’ Roll Adventure is currently being piloted in TeachRock Partner Schools and select school systems in New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois. In the book, the 9th in the Musical Adventures of Grace Series, Grace and her classmates win a contest to attend a Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul concert—a realistic plot considering that during his 2018 Teacher Solidarity Tour, Van Zandt gifted tickets to nearly 10,000 students and teachers nationwide. Invigorated by the music, Grace approaches Van Zandt, who bequeaths an instrument, setting the young musician on a rock and roll adventure with her classmates. In the accompanying workbook, real-life students learn about the various shapes in guitar designs, and ultimately combine music, math, art, and geometry to create a two- dimensional instrument of their own.

    Harley Davidson Collectors, Enthusiasts and E Street Band Supporters: Thank you for helping me and the Rotary Club of Naples raise funds for scholarships in Arts and Music. This 2009 Harley Davidson Soft Tail was presented to me after playing the Harley Davidson 105th Year Anniversary with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in August of 2008. As a member of The E Street Band I have been performing with Bruce and the band for over L3 years in hundreds of concerts in the United States and around the world including 9 recorded albums. I have kept this Harley in storage looking for the right organization and event that would raise money for high school students through scholarships in Arts or Music. lt is my pleasure to wish the lucky winner of this Raffle many years of enjoyment and many thanks for your contribution to the success of many students in their ongoing education and dreams to succeed and make a difference in America. This autographed Harley Davidson by all of the members of the band is a collectors' dream and documentation of one of the greatest American musical groups. Listed below are all of the musicians who autographed this Harley in 2008. Bruce Springsteen Patti Scialfa Clarence Clemons Steven Van Zandt Garry Tallent Roy Bittan Nils Lofgren Max Weinberg Soozie Tyrell Cindy Mizelle Curtis King Thank you and enjoy the Rotary Club of Naples evening of Wine and Food at the third annual Grapes and Apes at The Naples Zoo on March 23-,2013 Tyrell February L,2AL3.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom November 22, 2016 The President. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. We've got some work to do here. [Laughter] This is not all fun and games. [Laughter] Welcome to the White House, everybody. Today we celebrate extraordinary Americans who have lifted our spirits, strengthened our Union, pushed us toward progress. I always love doing this event, but this is a particularly impressive class. [Laughter] We've got innovators and artists, public servants, rabble rousers, athletes, renowned character actors, like the guy from "Space Jam." [Laughter] We pay tribute to those distinguished individuals with our Nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Now, let me tell you a little bit about each of them. First, we came close to missing out on a Bill and Melinda Gates's incredible partnership. Because apparently Bill's opening line was, "Do you want to go out 2 weeks from this coming Saturday?" [Laughter] I mean, he's good with computers, but—[laughter]. Fortunately, Melinda believes in second chances. And the world is better for it. For two decades, the Gates Foundation has worked to provide lifesaving medical care to millions, boosting clean water supplies, improving education for our children, rallying aggressive international action on climate change, cutting childhood mortality in half. The list could go on. These two have donated more money to charitable causes than anyone ever. Many years ago, Melinda's mom told her an old saying: "To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived, that is success." And by this and just about any other measure, few in human history have been more successful than these two impatient optimists.
