Tommorow is the birthday of Woody Guthrie!!
I thought that he should get his own birthday thread.
Happy birthday, Woody!

Happy birthday dude!
One time I found out that his son Arlo played in Moskow Idaho, where I live, like ten years ago…isn’t that freakin awesome?
Woody Guthrie, a true Interspiritualist.
He lived with an inherited serious illness which ultimately killed him, Huntington’s Chorea.
Upon admission to the hospital, they asked him his religion.
He said “all”
The admission clerk said, you can’t say “all.”
He said, “It’s all or none.”
Woody fought for justice, through his songs and life. just a couple years ago, I saw his good friend and ally, Pete Seeger, who spoke and sang at the memorial service for Dave Dellinger, political activist since the 1940s, and one of the Chicago Seven defendants(with Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin).
