Woody Guthrie

Miscellaneous History
1

Folksy and missed contributor to Americana or Commie stooge?

Seriously, what’s his legacy?

2

He was (I think) a wonderful contributer to American music. He also seemed to have a genuine concern for the well being of human beings.

His son, Arlo Guthrie, has an amazing song (which is more like a 20 min stand up comedy bit) called “Alice’s Restaurant” which most libertarians (or anybody) ought to check out.

"

*There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;*
*Sign was painted, it said private property;*
*But on the back side it didn't say nothing;*
*This land was made for you and me"*

A verse of 'This Land is your land" that’s usually not included. That whole song by the way is a Commie’s wet dream.

I like Och’s song on him, but I don’t think he deserves it. He kept abandoning children all over the place and made the Orwellian flip-flop on the war as the USSR got invaded. Not a very stand up person.
