Just as relevant today. He needs a revival.

I’m thinking John Brown for OG antifa but to each their own.
Woodie Guthrie is the best. I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to him and been completely pumped and emotionally uplifted.
I saw the Dropkick Murphy’s covers live for his album, acoustic live hits different. Definitely recommend.
The Dropkick Murphys put out two albums recently in his memory/spirit. Okemah Rising and This Machine Still Kills Fascists. They are both excellent. Their newest album is also awesome and a more classic DKM style.
Thanks for letting me know, those guys are solid, glad to hear they did this.
I came here to give the same suggestion! DKM for life! They gave a couple really great live shows and showcased the music from both albums really well. This is all from the blessing of the Guthrie estate too, you can feel they loved doing this and have always had a blue collar working mans attitude.
He hated a Trump, too.
Fuck yeah he did, even wrote a song about it.
This is one reason why we need a Guthrie revival. He bashed Trump’s father Fred Trump in a song. We need to bring it back and update it for the son.
Woody started the lyrics for us, but he never recorded it:
I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Beach Haven family projectEdit to add: whatever the song becomes, it should mention protecting pedophiles.
Woody Guthrie is estimated to have written more than 1000 songs, but probably most of them are like this: lyrics on lined notebook paper. Every now and then an artist has the privilege to dig into the archives and pull one out and arrange and record it.
That’s uncivil!!! Durrrrr Jordy Lund go ban ban
This is the machine the nazis rage against.
My face when you were literally in diapers while I was smashing fash.
