Woody Guthrie's 100th Birthday

[ljbab728]

I posted a few videos for Woody under feel good music but felt like this occasion (100th birthday in July) warranted more than that. He is arguably Oklahoma's most famous son after Will Rogers.

Woody hasn't always been admired here but he is an Oklahoma original.

[ljbab728]

A very pointed social commentary.

[ljbab728]

A typical Woody political commentary. He was always very pro union and adamantly anti-facist.

[ljbab728]

It's amazing what he says in such simple songs.

[ljbab728]

He doesn't have a great voice but how could anyone else do this better?

[ljbab728]

It's amazing how prolific he was with iconic songs.

[ljbab728]

Another social commentary song.

[ljbab728]

Showing a little humor.

[ljbab728]

And this is probably my favorite Oklahoma centric song by Woody even though this isn't performed by him.

[ljbab728]

Not a great song but a great commentary on a little known incident.

And a very interesting interview.
