Woody Guthrie - So Long, It's Been Good To Know You

[BrokenneckYgor]

I heard Woody wrote this after he read that Stalin died

[Freethinker12341]

@BrokenneckYgor I heard it was after Hitler died.

...its funny back then the left wasn't totally agianst war like they are now. They recognized a fascist when they saw one and weren't afraid to fight them or speak up against them

[Lddy]

@repeatedattempt Really? REALLY??? He was singing about defeating Hitler. Do you have two brain cells to rub together?

[MrRoger5513]

And thank God for FOX news Brother...

[alexandergreenb]

There's a version of this song about the dust bowls too



[CrystallizedLife]

Love you Woody.

[dionysianjew138]

One fascist listened to this song.

[zacharykelway]

My Grandfather had to fight thoose fascists in world war 2. Now there on fox news!

[ericgust82]

cool,cool, dude!!

[repeatedattempt]

He left out the part where the young soldier realizes that wars are drummed up on false pretenses in order to enrich the very powerful, and that we acrifice our young men and women every generation or so to this human mangler, under hallucination of "patriotism"

[JobberBud]

@repeatedattempt Ugh...calm the dramatics and enjoy the song.

[MrThebeast87]

dont like this type of music except a few and this is one of them

[MrLeadbelly]

i travelled america when i was young and was so pleased to be introduced to woodys music

[TheSheepdogLover]

[INUIT3333]

Thanks a lot,

Greetings from Germany

[MillaHead]

There's another version about the dust bowl.

[RoscoesRiffs]

Another of my father's favorites. I was too young to understand then.

[timgravemaker]

He had written on his gitar, this machine kills fascists. Pretty brilliant I might ad

[labunner1]

Woody's great, but, as far as the message is concerned:

No war can really be won.... and the fascists are still around.

[elkrobber]

Some still need to be fought - such as the battle against fascism!

[soonerschooner]

We need Woody Guthrie back in the US these days.

[trainsacrossthesea]

That's sort of a question I've been asking myself as well...and trying to update a few verses as needs be done nowadays

[johnbernays]

@soonerschooner

We are here. We are the RAIL ROAD HOBOS, the STREET GUITAR PLAYERSm the OKIES that are SINGING & PLAYING,,all over this land! HOWEVER...the POLICE STATE makes LIVE MUSIC a CRIME! The CORPORATE STATE only wants APPROVED MUSIC! I have traveled since 1967, ALL OVER my land & Canada..I USED TO BE TOLLD, BY POLICE "You Are A ASSET to OUR TOWN!" Now they JUMP ME with TAZERS & BREAK MY GUITARS! (I am a OKIE from MUSKOGEE) (Woodie born down in OKEMAH.)

[skeewiz]

We still have Pete Seeger, but how much is he ignored by the Mainstream Media?

[BumboBloodKlaat]

@soonerschooner You have Pete Seeger again....

[junaid1]

Yeah Woody! What a kool guy. I wish he were here today.
