Happy 100th birthday, Woody Guthrie. And thanks.

I'm not sure anymore that this land is our land, but the fight isn't over.

from State to State due to LAPD at the CA/NV State line. So he was not celebrating a promise filled with that song, he was making a statement of a truth we all have to bring to fruition.
" In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me."

The world still needs Woody Guthrie! He stood up for the little man and the working class. He fought for the rights of the common person and helped spread the ideal that this is truly “our land.” I paid tribute to the legendary musician with a portrait of Woody which you can see on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/07/woody-guthrie-centennial.html where you can drop by and let me know how Woody’s voice has spoken to you as well.
