@JordanBukikosa You got it backwards as well as richcsst. The song was written in responce to "god Bless America" by Kate Smith for her flowerey rendition during a time like now when we need to change things - which is why we are in trouble "Again" and"NOW" because we did not and are puppets to the 1%. - Insanity has been defined as doing nothing and expecting change.

@CrawdaddyJoe and:

Nobody living, can ever stop me

as I go walking that freedom highway

nobody living can make me turn back

this land was made for you and me

[CrawdaddyJoe]

@gramasaucy The 'missing' verses (which most people singing it outside of schools and choirs sing anyway) are as follows:

As I was walking, I saw a signpost

and on the sign it said, no tresspassing

but on the other side it didn't say nothing

that side was made for you and me

There in the city in the shadow of the steeple

in a bread line, I saw my people

and some were hungry, and they were wondering

if this land's still made for you and me.

[JordanBukikosa]

@richcsst Yeah. I agree. I do believe that's true. I think it's really interesting. Do you think we'd have used the song so much if he was a well known Communist activist? I think we'd be a bit more cautious to accept it so quickly. It's just interesting.

[richcsst]

@JordanBukikosa Oh, you mean the one where he meets a private property sign and he exclaims it belongs to everyone? (sarcasm) Yeah, not very "communistic" of him. (/sarcasm)

I'm not trying to belittle this performance, as I like it too, but the simple facts are that Woody Guthrie was a communist activist and wrote this song attempting to arouse that in others with this song. It backfired and became a patriotic song totally being taken as opposite of what he intended. It's historical fact.
