Woody Guthrie

This guitar kills fascists
According to "The Writer's Almanac" he was born on this day in 1913. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Guthrie he was born on this day in 1912.
Either way, here are some missing lyrics:
This guitar kills fascists

As I went walking, I saw a sign there,
And on the sign there, It said "no trespassing." [In another version, the sign reads "Private Property"]
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing!
That side was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?

another beat me to it,

another beat me to it, remember it was pete who coined the phrase woody's children. someday this date will be known more for woody's children than bastille day.
