1. Woody Guthrie was a great American!
"This Land Is Your Land" should be our National Anthem!

2. Yes he was. And the greatest thing about him was him being real and regular folk.
And he sang real and regular folks' songs for us.

4. Good one. I prefer Woody.
Fascism of course isn't only about white, neo-nazis and KKK. Fascism is unchecked control and greed that pushes down regular folk anywhere.

5. Woody's lyrics to the tune:
I'm gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You're bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose

Race hatred cannot stop us
This one thing we know
Your poll tax and Jim Crow
And greed has got to go
You're bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose.

All of you fascists bound to lose:
I said, all of you fascists bound to lose:
Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose:
You're bound to lose! You fascists:
Bound to lose!

People of every color
Marching side to side
Marching 'cross these fields
Where a million fascists dies
You're bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

I'm going into this battle
And take my union gun
We'll end this world of slavery
Before this battle's won
You're bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

7. I always liked Pete Seeger's comments about Woody . . .
"I couldn't stand him when he was around -- but I missed him when he wasn't." . . .
