On Michael Moore's Slacker Uprising, Joan Baez sings Finlandia with english words @ 1:11:30. Shed a tear.

Mmm, why? (Finlandia not the tears) Also, IMHO all the American liberals should steer clear of that giant annoying ego-centric douchebag. Clint had a decent final solution few years back.
the flick was overall a very boring retrospective to the tour M.Moore tried to run before the '04 elections. Also, Baez said that it's the national anthem of Finland, which obviously is not true (but it was not the point of the song).
Besides, getting names like Baez, Tom Morello, and REM on stage for a good cause is not made by a whistle. I think that Michael Moore is the counterweight for the GOP-stupidity out there. He brings his message with a twist of entertainment, on the same communicational level with the redneck-to-the-bone "i've always voted a republican, I always will"-people.
One thing M.M. does not tell a single joke about though, is the fact that US gov't lied about the WMD and reasons to go to Iraq (again).
"Michael Moore is the counterweight for the GOP-stupidity"
So true. He's the crux of liberal stupidity. Probably Finlandia should be the national anthem of Finland, too.

Yes, there has been a swing and another to that kind of "improvement".
