Happy Birthday Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma in 1912, and spent the rest of his life fighting the good fight, usually for those who really needed it. "I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good," he explained in Ed Cray's biography Ramblin Man. "I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose...I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world."
