  • i've done some hard travelin' myself... :-)

  • @TheTxBandit In the words of Bob Dylan:

    "The very last thing that I'd want to do

    Is to say I've been hitting some hard traveling too."

  • What does "flat wheeler" mean? (0:43)

  • @sghirate

    Flat wheeler is the term used for a railroad car that has a flat spot on its wheel, which causes it to hop and shake the car with every turn. Very unpleasant for those hopping trains. For more on Guthrie's train hopping ways, read Bound for Glory. Bob Dylan said it left even more of an impression on him than Keroauc's On The Road.

  • RIP

  • @CarolyntheGreat what do you mean?

  • @fanniterrette I liked both. And say that both of them are easily two of my favorite books. Kerouac was a drunk, and suffered from depression.

  • Oh woody it's such a shame about Arlo.

  • thats cause Keroauc was a fruit even Willie B. thought so. 

  • @TheTxBandit Who the hell hasn't, best to ya!

  • This comment kills fascists

  • @tasedlak I can see why. Guthrie has his own prose style, one that beautifully reflects his spoken voice and the various characters he runs across in his travels. I know there are many fans, or at least I assume there are, of On the Road, but I found the book to be hard-going. In my opinion, while Keroauc's got the literary rep, Guthrie's got the talent.

    Cool story bro,
