  • the joke is... capitalism&communism=the same thing. obsolete.

    It's as Bob sez "... that he not busy being born is busy dying".

  • Now I know what Dylan meant when he said Hootnanny television.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh I love my country ,love ya Bob...

  • Waste "o" time . . .

  • guess what John Lee Hooker said regarding...

    "this land is nobody's land, its ur burying ground"

    yeah, He said that 2ALL of us

    ALSO... u got to take sick and die one of these days by McKinley

    u want genuine? blues is genuine. if it aint genuine, it aint the blues -WDixon

  • Fine Sings!

    Thanks for Posting!

    Aloha from Hawaii!

  • do you have the other parts to this???

  • this land was stolen that land was stolen, this land is no mans land!

  • "this land is your land"=song about Woody Guthrie wondering if America is still the land of freedom...

  • Wow...America really is great. It's like the defender of the world and wouldn't ever do anything unjust or bad because it is just so fantastic that I am crying about how unlucky I am not to get fat by eating frozen pizzas and support the Chinese capitalist communism by buying all their crap as well.

  • EXCUSE ME BUT CAPITALISM IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL AND CHINA ISN'T COMMUNIST IT'S A TOTALITARIAN CENTRALLY-PLANNED ECONOMY.

    Please don't watch my video anymore, bitch.

  • Thanks for posting these great videos. You should keep your fucked up political views to other videos though, not here. I've been to China, you should move there for awhile and then decide which society is fucked up. Love these old folk videos!

  • SHUT UP, FUCKER

  • Great channel, ma man, ah'll tell Bob. Ma granny used tae take her teeth oot tae sing folk songs. She said it was a mark of respect. She never did explain this ! BTW; she wasn't "all there", but ya proabably guessed that =). (it does NOT run in te family BTW!!)

    "Blowin In The Wind " was played at her funeral, and considerin that she was bothered with "gas" for the last 20 years of her life,the song was very appropriate. But ah had tae sing itt,a s Bob could not make it.

  • @elpoo First off, I'm pretty sure alannigelmarshall was making a joke, so there was no need for such a blatant, uninformed, and irrationally violent protest to his comment. You aren't getting any support from your viewers by your comments.

  • @elpoo That being said, capitalism is simply a system of government that allows the people to gain what they've earned, not what the government says they've earned. There is nothing evil about that, and it's your anger towards anyone with a different opinion than yours that causes general animosity. Before you go on a tangent, I'm not screaming down with China or trying to fight, I'm simply suggesting that you speak in a more dignified manner when in disagreement with someone.

  • @herbiesnerd Yeah, you've lived in China (but don't identify which China). But obviously not under the US ally, gangster, and fascist Chiang Kai-shek.

  • @JNagarya elpoo posted a great video of American folk music - Its great! Then he posted his opinion of capitalism. I've never lived in China. I spent 2 weeks in South East China once. It blew my mind and changed my view of the world. China is self sufficient and does not need us to exist. That being said-its all fucked up. They mix capitalism and communism. It is corrupt as it gets. Every political figure there is corrupt. The USA is not perfect but its the greatest country to ever exist.

  • @herbiesnerd The USA is not perfect but its the greatest country to ever exist.

    _____

    And you base that assertion on having spent two weeks in S. East China, and no time in any other country but the US? Watch FOX for your "facts" much?

  • @elpoo they eat dogs in china. or some of them starve. maybe you should go to china for good, dickwad, and eat a fookin labradoodle dandy.

  • @elpoo you are 100% correct, but you shouldn't be surprised that general public won't understand, after all they're being subverted by the plutocracy into thinking they're actually prospering, when the American middle class family can't even afford to pay the bills, pay for medicine, eat nutritiously, pay mortgage, etc. and the CEOs award themselves the highest salaries and bonuses in the world. your opinions are honest and your uploads are great.

  • @elpoo you're fucking retarded... it's because of capitalism that you have the freedom to do whatever you want... life liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness... you're a dumb fuck

  • thx for reminding us how America was! i hope you can post the rest of these great series

  • Love this song

  • Its funny because the guy is bashing communism and this song is very socialist.

  • Communism and socialism are not the same thing. Sweden is socialist -- with both a monarchy and an elected parliament. Same goes for several other European countries. None of which means they aren't "free".

  • @JNagarya Yeah, try paying over half your income in taxes, then lets see if you like it there. America is still the best place to live. I lived in Japan for seven years and that was pretty good. Their sales tax is high but income tax is about like the USA. We do need socialized medicine for sure though!

  • The reality is that one gets a return on those taxes which make the taxation acceptable. As for the US being the best place to live: have you lived in EVERY country? If not, then you are merely speculationg, based on the unsubstantiated hope that it is.

    And we certainly need health care established as a right.

  • @JNagarya Have you lived in every countryr

  • @pattietatoo @JNagarya Have you lived in every countryr

    _____

    No -- which is why, unlike you, I don't make unsupportable claims based upon no experience or knowledge whatsoever.

    Torture is wonderful, isn't it? -- so long as not imposed on you. And that certainly makes the US better than all those countries which don't engage in crimes against humanity.

  • It aint no use to tell about these guys : they are the most exciting folk singers I've ever heard. I'm used to listening to them evey day. I'm crazy, I know but I like that !

    Chris, from France

  • where are the other 4 vids man?

  • nah a mighty wind had better songs than the newporters...pete n pullda fairy look better in the MIGHTY MIGHTY WIND

  • did this dude say 'food stamps?' dam , hahahahaha

  • It seems that youtuber's have become a mean spirited bunch these days. It's turned a great forum for music and video into a foul mouthed internet site. Too bad.....

  • Rednecks...miss the point as usual.

  • Who really cares if the words are wrong? You won't hear Woody sing or play every one of his songs exactly the same each time. The only thing I don't like is how these cats turn folk, almost into pop, its supposed to be simple music....But it's all gravy in the navy

  • Pop is simple music.

  • When i was growing up in the 60's, this song was a staple in the schools. We sang it regularly. There were many different lyrics for this song. Woody even had lyrics he didn't sing and that Arlo would later sing. Everyone knows the meaning of this song no matter what set of lyrics are used......

  • Strange -Faulk had been branded a "red" during the witch hunts of the McCarthy period. He is seen here doing a "mea culpa" required- across the board of those who wanted to work again. Wonder if it worked?

  • These guys probably don't even realize that those aren't the words. These lyrics are absolutely disgusting, giben what the song was meant to actually mean. The Guthrie Foundation is probably pretty disgusted at this...

  • These guys probably don't even realize that those aren't the words. These lyrics are absolutely disgusting. The Guthrie Foundation is probably pretty disgusted at this...

  • 2 out of 6, actually. I need some way to cut the other clips in half as they are too long to upload.

  • could you please put any clips of bob playing up?

  • nope

  • @elpoo

    hey elpoo, you're kind of a dick, aren't you?

  • @elpoo Keep it civil.

  • @elpoo 

  • Keep it civil elpoo.

  • shame you've only uploaded 1 and 6 but otherwise that's quite a thing to watch, not much has changed has it?

  • This was just a few months before Westinghouse Broadcasting re-branded itself as "Group W" and unveiled the distinctive type font that would be approximated in today's font libraries as "Anklepants."

  • thank you for reminding us how America was! i hope you can post the rest of this great series!

  • Doncs a mi m' agrada. Té encant.

  • Do we ever get to see Dylan singing?

  • How annoying.. and they only sing the chorus again and again. This isn't folk music. It's just plain bad.

  • I really DON'T like Brothers Four... :(

  • disgusting capitalists.... woody guthrie must've flipped his lid over this.

  • same as it ever was!
