    Hmmmm, the American Indians might have disagreed with the sentiments here!

    Yes, in light if what we appreciate now, the American way or dream was a bit of a nightmare for everybody else.

    I might go and research Woody's view on the natives.

    Btw, that was not meant as a criticism of your choice of song, just a thought that popped into my head as I listen to the lyrics. I'd be interested in what you dig up about his view.

    A quick search myself shows that his views are not recorded, but it seems anecdotally that he was aware and sympathetic to the issues and it also transpires that the views of native Americans are also varied.

    Just had a chance to do a little reading. I think it is easy to point the finger at the song and say that it ignores the indigenous population. There are two version that don't usually get sung, and one of them calls out explotive land owners who didn't really have rights to own the land.

    The song isn't a patriotic one, though I think some Americans think it is. It doesn't talk of flag waving or how great the USA is but that the place is for all of us and how it has been spoilt by greed. Guthrie certainly was a political singer.

    Cross purposing the 20th anniversary of Tommy Vance's death with my usual antics, there just might be a bit more ROCK than usual :cool:

    @Huyrob That was a very early guess. Still time and lots more tunes to fine tune it
