Summer of 1992, a few months after Rodney King protests, I saw them live at wolftrap in Virginia. One of them (I think Paul) did a solo acoustic song with words from Rodney King’s speech. I’ve never seen info about the song after. Any info what it was called or if there are recordings?

There is a tv show called Designing the Hebrides on BBC iPlayer and at the end of the second episode called "Bothy" there is a folk song that I know but cannot remember for the life of me what its called. The link for the show is https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0fcdp7s/designing-the-hebrides-series-1-2-bothy The song I'm looking for starts at about the 27:20 mark. I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me out! There will also be a prize for the correct answer (the prize is my eternal gratitude)

Hello! I’m doing an essay on how Woody Guthrie (a pioneer in folk music and activism) has impacted the American Story and his relevance today. What is your favorite song by Woody Guthrie and how does it apply to the world today? Thanks!
