Last fall my friends John and Jenn stopped by with their three-year-old daughter, Ada. We were visiting and they wanted to keep Ada entertained, so they set her down and played the Free to Be...You and Me soundtrack, and I burned it into my iTunes, though I already had the songs burned into my memory. I watched this movie once a year in elementary school, and I can't help but think it had a good influence on us Minnesota kids.

Rosey Grier: "It's All Right to Cry"
"Sisters and Brothers"
Marlo Thomas: "Free to Be, You and Me"

For years I've wanted to put together some kind of tribute CD with bands covering these songs: ideally Low doing the title song, Rufus Wainwright doing the Rosey Grier one, White Stripes "Sisters and Brothers"...
