Heh! Great song, but Woody was not a good guy.  His guitar may have said "This Machine Kills Fascists," but for the 22 months that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were allies, he was opposing anyone who wanted to stop Hitler.

I'm embarrassed that Tulsa houses the Woody Guthrie Museum.

I think I remember infuriating daddyact on the old CFN boards when I produced some alternate lyrics to that song.

To come full circle, though, one reason that America is great is because guys like Woody Guthrie get to have their say.

Even though this is not really known as a patriotic song it represents a lot of what America is to me

What's America without trains and bittersweet train songs?
You could write the social, economic, and political history of the USA from 1830 to today and not get very far from railroads.
David Allen Coe's "good friend"--the late, great Steve Goodman--wrote that song in 1970.

I knew his political beliefs were not exactly like mine but I still love this song

somewhere deep in his heart he must have loved this country

Yeah, I've loved that song since, oh, 3rd grade, or whenever I first heard it.

I think 1976 is the wrong year, Fearless.  For example, I think that "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" was from 1969.

By 1976, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Starship, groups like that would have been popular.

"American Pie" was '71.

And "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was '68.

"Miracles" was '75.

"Layla" was '70.

Those Facebook fact-checkers aren't worth what I'm paying them.

as a young child I was introduced to this via my Aunt

its just about the only classical music piece I like

course theres nothing quite like being there and I was fortunate enough to be in the audience and hear the New York Philharmonic Orchestra preform it

anyway give it a listen and be patient it gets good

PS you will have to select watch on You Tube

As a choir-singing and French horn playing band/orchestra nerd, there are tons of classical pieces I love. I couldn't even begin to list a top 50 or 100.

But I do have an especially soft spot for Beethoven's 9th, Choral.
