WHETHER you're young, old, or just a teenage dirtbag, everyone is welcome at the marches for independence.
And the AUOB event in Glasgow today received some surprise support from US rock stars you might just know.
Adding to the staggering number of marchers was the famed Wheatus (yes, that Wheatus. The ones who did Teenage Dirtbag).
Frontman Brendan B Brown joined the proceedings, covering the march live from the scene with more than a little respect for its goal of an independent Scotland.
March for Scottish Independence today in Glasgow. Pretty great.

He tweeted: "March for Scottish Independence today in Glasgow. Pretty great. 100k at least have gone by & still going."
Brown is the only remaining member of the band who has been there since the start.
Wheatus are in Glasgow to play a gig tonight – if they'd like a National to hold up on the stage, they're welcome to some of our free copies we're giving away to marchers.
Feel free to point them in our direction!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
