Woody Guthrie was so awesome. I'm listening to Dust Bowl Ballads right now, soooo good. Discuss.

Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do."


One of my favourite quotes of all time. I have his Library of Congress recordings, Asch recordings, Dust Bowl Ballads and Ballads of Sacco and Vanzetti. He is truly legendary. I saw his autobiography in a shop the other day and was pissed off I didn't have the money for it.

There's some more great quotes here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Woody_Guthrie

He's fantastic. I have the first volume of the Asch recordings, and I love it.

This Land is Your Land should be the national anthem.

Woody Guthrie is so amazing. The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1 is so great. My favourite Folk singer.

Did you guys hear 'Car Song' in that one car commericial? I thought it was well done.
