You know he was hired by the State of Oregon, or maybe the feds, to write a song about Bonneville Dam on the Columbia?
So Matt, are you saying he was a sell out?
That’s not what I am saying. Just diggin’ the local connection.
Also, while it’s Obvious By Inspection, it shouldn’t go without saying, “nice drawings!”.
Agree on the OBI!
And I’ve been chuckling about calling Guthrie a sell-out all morning, even though I knew that wasn’t what you meant. In fact I’m smiling about it now… 🙂
As far as I am concerned, he sold out with “This Land”. He does have the third best version of “House of the Rising Sun” though. No doubt he copied the Animals’ version.
You seem to be seriously implying that you don’t know all the lyrics to “This Land”. Is that really the case?
