Are you one of the estimated millions of people who are road tripping to DC this weekend to see Barack Obama sworn in as the next President?  If so, you might need some driving tunes to keep you alert and pumped up along the way.  This is just a fun little mix I put together of freedom-themed songs to help ring in a new abolitionist era of Obama.  It's an eclectic collection, including rock, punk, gospel and hip-hop, but it will keep you interested!
