Arlo Guthrie and Ron Paul
Posted by fredtopeka on January 30, 2008
My respect for Arlo Guthrie has gone down, as he has now endorsed Ron Paul. It doesn’t mean I will now not like his music, I can and do separate the art and the artist, but it does mean I will respect him less as a person. I’m not sure Woody would like it, since he was very far left politically.
An interesting bit, here’s Woody on the copright of ‘This Land is Your Land’:
“This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don’t give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that’s all we wanted to do.”
