Is it me or did everyone ignore ol' Woody, hes like the original punk. Great Left music.

[workersunity]

yes, very good music indeed, anti-flag did a little tribute like thing with this machine kills fascists

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

It's pretty well recognized that he was the main influence in the wave of 60s activist pinko folk music, particularly Bob Dylan.

Exactly, he's more sincere than that!

There is a lot of bullshit posing in punk especially over the past 15 years, you never really got that in folk.

[Hate Is Art]

ARLO GUTHRIE 4EVA!

[codyvo]

Yeah, Arlo rocks, and I love Woody, he is one of, if not the greatest folk musician ever, their was a movie about him with David Carradine called Bound for Glory. I hate how the commonly played versions of This Land all leave out a verse that is very powerful, it is hard to find a version that has that verse.

[CCCPneubauten]

Actually he can be considered the 'godfather' of punk. So in a way he is.

If yer interested in Guthrie, check out Mermade Avenue by Billy Bragg and Wilco, all covers of uncovered Guthrie lyrics. Really great stuff.
