These songs are very, very important.
This is not yesterday, this is not nostalgia.
Right now, these songs have enormous impact and importance
and they're part of the legacy of what binds us together.
Tonight, and in other circumstances, to say,
we do stand for something that is beyond the ridicule
and the mean-spiritedness and the greed and the materialism,
and you will affirm it.
And so we do it particularly when we sing this [F] song.
