Woody Guthrie at 100
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, born July 14 1912 in Okemer, Oklahoma. Died October 3 1967 in New York (from the effects of Huntington’s Chorea).
A great man, highly influential musician and committed socialist. He deserves to be remembered and honoured. Just a shame about the Stalinism.

Last link is great
Woody on the basis of his anti-fascism:
“a personal hate so strong that it makes you want to kill in order to keep the people you love from being slaves…because if you really love anybody or anything or any principle or any science or belief, you will hate, hate, hate, and keep hating anybody or anything that tries to hurt, or kill or destroy that which you love. Unless love has got this hate, it’s not love at all, it’s a cave full of mysticism, and one of the most dangerous forms of cowardice”
Like wow.
