Trump v Guthrie

Post by voguy » 01-21-2016 04:56 PM

I'm posting this story here because I can bet it will evolve into something to do with the candidate and political rants. But in reality it's interesting from the position of two men with diverse lives and opinions, and it evolves into music and prose. Enjoy, but check your vile at the door.

Interesting how Guthrie and Trump Sr. crossed paths and so diverse, in such close proximity.

Considering the times I'm not surprised.

Woody Guthrie was was probably one of the original "protest" song makers. It would seem natural that he would clash with the Trumps and any successful industrialist, therefore "racists". With Woodys communist leanings, most of his songs where hauntingly about injustice to the working man. I have no doubt that he would have been one of the 1st to sign up for "Black Lives Matter". It is what it is. This is just a Classical example of one sided stories, albeit, a weak one against Trump, cause of his father?
