Dust Bowl Refugee-- Woody Guthrie

[ashyasharris1]

I think it was at the talking point (around 3:15) he says oak staves ... just so you know... he says oak staves. Staves were ribs for big barrels. White oak staves is the bit that seems garbled there.

The Dust Bowl was the first instance of "disaster capitalism." It was the beginning of the end of agrarian life in America and the beginning of large scale commercial farming.

[ajgolfer1]

@LastFreedomFighter sure blame free land poor farming practices and a drought on capitalism.

[LastFreedomFighter]

Oh no! You misunderstood, disaster capitalism is not capitalism, disaster capitalism is when big business takes advantage of a disaster for financial gain. I lament the loss of the lifestyle that existed before the dust bowl, I'm criticizing corporatism, not capitalism. Corporatism is not capitalism, its soft fascism. My Grandad only got to the third grade because of the Dust Bowl, he had to start working full time when he was only a kid to help keep the family fed.

@LastFreedomFighter ok i misunderstood we agree completely my great grand parents had to raise my grandparents in minnesota, ND, and the canadian praries during the dust bowl all of my greatgrandparents died of silicosis of the lungs late in very life from the dust. Yet you have kids in the east coast today that have no clue what the dust bowl is or that it left the oklahoma panhandle..

@LastFreedomFighter Respect.

My Grandma and Grandpa (my moms parents) came to California in 1934 from southern Arkansas and worked up and down the west coast picking fruit,cotton,and making end meat trying to put food on the table and worked hard there whole life and I can say I'm very proud of them God rest there souls. Needs to be in the history books so we don't forget the hard working generation.

Where did you find all the pictures?

I hadn't heard this classic for years when it the harp popped up BBC's Country File tonight. Searched thru dozens of Woody Guthie songs here until I found this (I'm sure this was it) and really enjoyed the contributors video. Time to get some of his CDs I think. Most people don't realise how much his music influenced some of today's music (e.g no Bob Dylan) along with Robert Johnson of course.

thanks for this Mr Lu Xun's Rustbowlachian Ghost

@RickInDorset - most of the "folk rockers" claim Woody as their primary influence.. JT, Baez, Joni, Judy..

[stevomwa1]

@Catlovertea4

and Bob Dylan, Richie Evans

[Catlovertea4]

@stevomwa1 and Pete Seger, Leonard Cohen, Peter, Paul, Mary... hm... Neil Young... in fact, can we not say his was the impetus of anti-war songs and civil rights movement, at least, in part? Maybe we better start with Leadbelly.
