The show happened after the album.
That's how important the album is.
The whole process of taking the
Frederick Douglass words and incorpo-
rating them in the music and the lyrics
that ended up as a song called
"Freedom's Child" for Hootie & the
Blowfish is really what this is all about.

they were equal patriotic citizens.
Remember, in the 19th century, in
Europe and the Western world,
Jews were not regular people. They
were not Frenchmen or Germans
or Englishmen. They lived in a
ghetto, they weren't part of the
state. That's the tradition that they
wanted to overcome. They wanted
to be men, full citizens of the
United States. And in order to do
that, they had to fight. So I do
think they had a special burden. ❑

formers and singers who could only
do this material one way, and that's as
honest as honest can be. You have to
feel it. You have to make it part of
your life. I believe the power of doing
that has been translated into what the
show is, and that's why people relate
to it the way they do. ❑

formula keeps
pulling 'em in."
