CoolMom and I are meeting at City Winery tomorrow night to celebrate Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday, which is Saturday, with Steve Earle, Joe Purdy, Amy Helm, and Billy Bragg.
Go over to YouTube and check out just how many of Woody's songs still have relevance today. And don't forget to give him a little nod the next time you're listening to your Dylan or Springsteen albums.
Here's a Woody Guthrie centennial activity for you. Guthrie famously labeled his own guitars with "This Machine Kills Fascists." Fill in the blank with whatever you'd like. I can't play very well, so I'll get all of those jokes out of the way with "...anyone within a 100 yards."
