My Slow Descent
Now reading: Woody Guthrie: A Life.
I always knew he was a radical of sorts, that he wrote "This Land Is Your Land", that he was in trouble during the McCarthy evilness, but that was about it. Wow!
My question, though: why wasn't Arlo handed the old manuscripts instead of Billy Bragg and Wilco? I will have to go back to those barely-lasered Mermaid Avenue CDs and see what I like. I remember at the time skipping all the Jeff Tweedy tracks. I still don't really get Wilco, though what I've heard of Uncle Tupelo is interesting.
