Roll on Columbia: Woody Guthrie

great song im 12 and i love this song

I am 47 years old and I was introduced to this song at about 12 years of age myself. I have been singing it ever since!

God didn't give us this land yo destory it- I'm sure if Woody were alive today he'd be all about sustainable use of resources.

Of course he would. He was a self declared communist. He was a talented guy who, like a lot of people both then and now, didn't understand much about the way things really work. He just happened to hit a true note this time, by touting development and progress. Nature is nothing until it's put to use.

thank you Woody!! because with out you they would be no Bob Dylan.

This is such a beautiful affirmation of America and her people. Thanks for putting it together, and God bless (Red Skelton)...

Man, I feel just like the same. I live in Brazil and can tell you that's all the same shit everywhere around the globe. Dark ages we're living. Technicians ruling the whole world. It's like a nightmare sometimes, and you can never wake up! It may sound pessimistic, but it's just reality as it is. Sure we can have nice moments and stuff. But how can we get free from these balls and chains of meaningless work and lifestyle that creates the empyness we feel?

Its great to know im not alone, i just feel that were all living a lie. How have we got into this mess? And what do we do to change it? These i feel, are the questions of our time. Its going to be a tough few years, but maybe this Economic crash will help us to see what fools weve all been.
