In honor of the day we thumbed our noses at the known and stepped off into independence, I give you….Woodie Guthrie

I love how schools don’t teach the whole song, and to me, that’s a huge mistake. We are stronger and not weaker for such critical self-examinations. You and I, creative writers, we review and we edit, we shape and we hone, seeking better. Why should a country do any less?
They should not, not at all. I was surprised to learn the omitted verses–they do not strike me as seditious in any way–simply social commentary, as valid now as it was when the song was written.
Yes.
Lovin a little Guthrie but ended up listening to ‘goin down the road feelin bad’ as well
