[thechat] What can WE do?

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Joel,

+1 on Woody G.!

Sheesh ... a quick search turned up quite a number of alternative lyrics
.. none of which completely agreed with the others! ... [Hmmmm ... seems
rather 'American' by itself!] ... 


"Wrong Ron"    ;-)

[Who's more of a Phil Ochs fan himself ... the acerbic lyrics of Guthrie
and Dylan combined with a voice smoother than Ricky Nelson.]

Lyrics to Phil's "Draft Dodger Rag":

I've also read [insert more apologies] more than one commentary re:
Woody
Guthrie's affect on US history - not as a politician, but as a writer of
acerbic protest songs. (If you ever get a chance to hear Arlo cover
'This
Land Is Your Land,' where he sings the verses you don't learn in school,
you'll hear a very different perspective on who owns what, and whose
'land'
is whose.)
