Good quote from the Rev too. Big Bill Broonzy. Well I never.
Barry only gets eight-point-mumble for the speech however: too many slightly off notes, but built it to quite a crescendo with echoes of MLK and FDR and Churchill. Or it could be that Winston, Martin, and Barry, all lean quite heavily upon the cadences of the King James' Bible.
