Remembering the great Woody Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967)

Woody Guthrie was an American songwriter and folk singer whose songs about troubles and triumphs of American life, coupled with his raw performing style, had enormous influence on popular music and culture. An eccentric character often viewed as something of a hobo poet, Guthrie created a template for songwriters which, carried along by admirers including Bob Dylan, helped infuse popular songs with poetic and often political messages.

His most famous song, "This Land Is Your Land" has become an official national anthem, sung at countless school assemblies and public gatherings. Though his career was cut short by an incapacitating illness, Guthrie's songs have continued to inspire successive generations of musicians and listeners.
