John Hodgman's PBS documentary, Hobo Matters. If not the most celebrated episode of The American Experience, certainly the most astounding, not only for the number of facts packed into this short episode, but also for the fact that PBS actually produced and dared to air it.
Unfortunately, this chronicle of the Great Depression and the Hobo Wars was quickly erased from history by the powerful Hobo Queen for it revealed too many secrets about the hobo world.

(crank the volume for this) A tribute to the ultimate badass.
Song: Tom Waits: Goin' Out West
Lyrics: I'm goin' out west where the wind blows tall Cause Tony Franciosa used to date my ma They got some money out there, they're giving it away I'm gonna do what I want and I'm gonna get paid Do what I want and I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages lying in the sand I ain't no extra, baby, I'm a leading man Well, my parole officer will be proud of me With my Olds '88 and the devil on a leash My Olds '88 and the devil on a leash
I know karate, voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up, I got real scars I got hair on my chest, I look good without a shirt
Well, I don't lose my composure in a high speed chase Well, my friends think I'm ugly, I got a masculine face I got some dragstrip courage, I can really drive a bed I'm gonna change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex Change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex
I know karate, voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up, I got real scars I got hair on my chest, I look good without a shirt
I'm gonna drive all night, take some speed I'm gonna wait for the sun to shine down on me I cut a hole in my roof, the shape of a heart And I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me I'm goin' out west where they'll appreciate me Goin' out west where they'll appreciate me Goin' out west where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west Goin' out west

New Album on its way. "Seven Songs For America (And One For The World)" is in production
New Album on its way. "Seven Songs For America (And One For The World)" is in production right now. www.BergevinBrothersMusic.com for more information.
Due to the overwhelming response for our music, we've gone on to write seven more original songs. The songs will feature the Total Experience Gospel Choir, a host of other talented musicians and is being co-produced and played on by Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam. Available at www.bergevinbrothersmusic.com
"Why Obama?" Three brothers share their story. In December 2007, when Barack Obama came to Seattle, Joe Bergevin and his family went to listen to him speak. At one point, Joe's daughter Chloe broke through the rope line and stood in front of the Senator. He commented on her, saying, "Come on up honey, it's OK, you can come up here." While she (being 1 year old) declined, Joe shook hands with Barack after the event, and commented to him, "I think you're going to get the job done." Barack replied to Joe, "With your help I will, with your help." At that moment, Joe felt he had been charged with a challenge, and started to think of how he could apply his skills to the task of helping get Barack Obama elected. Within a few weeks, Joe was watching the video feed online of Barack Obama and Oprah together on stage and inspiration set in. That day, Obama told a story about one person, Edith Childs, who energized others with a "fired up, ready to go," chant at one of his campaign stops. Inspired by Obama's "One voice can change the world" speech, Joe wrote some lyrics and rough chords that same day, then called his brother Jon to help him finish and arrange the song. The song is named after Edith's chant. After many phone calls, emails, and sleepless nights, they had assembled the team. Ten days later an epic recording was born with the intention of spreading Obama's hopeful message. Contributors include lead singer Reverend Pat Wright and her renowned Total Experience Gospel Choir, drummer Matt Cameron from Pearl Jam, lead singer Jake Bergevin, other top studio musicians, sound engineers, video teams, photographers, caterers, local news teams and a renovated theater with recording studio. From the first word written to the last note performed, this entirely donated and collective effort demonstrates Senator Obama's unifying message and Americans' desire to act on it. We were in awe of how freely people said, "Yes!" to this project. His words "For that is our unyielding faith-that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country, can change it" demonstrate that great leaders motivate others. Barack is a great leader.
"I would have never imagined participating in an event like this, suddenly having a bunch of people come together on behalf of a political candidate; contributing immediately, so fully and unconditionally," said Stephan Schier, one of the project contributors.
Edith Childs said in the Greenwood Index Journal "I just had no idea that something done spontaneously would go this far -- in a good way," Childs said. "But as far as the song, I think it's cool. And I'm going to go online and see the (music) video when it comes out. But look, I did (the chant) in June, and I had no idea this is where we'd be on January 25."
Now, the song is included on a new album inspired by Obama's candidacy called 'Seven Songs for America (And One for the World)'. This historic and one-of-a-kind album can be purchased by going to http://www.bergevinbrothersmusic.com

-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
Yes. We. Can.
Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon
