Relevant song by Woody Guthrie: Pretty Boy Floyd

Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw.
Drive a family from their home.

We need more people like Woody Guthrie.

Jesse Welles may be the reincarnation of Woody Guthrie... he writes a lot of music, some of it is great.

Edit: also this one

American folk music used to be a great bastion of leftist propaganda
