Thread Name: Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash VI
Subject: RE: Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash VI
We already have the Woody Guthrie Power Sub-Station on the Columbia River. The Postal Service issues a Woody Guthrie Stamp. The Texas Highway Department names the section of State Route 60 across the Panhandle the Woody Guthrie Highway. The city of Okemah, Oklahoma, has its official Woody Guthrie Days and its annual Woody Guthrie Festival, while the city of Pampa, Texas, has its own annual Woody Guthrie Tribute. The borough of Brooklyn, New York, does likewise. Corporate hucksters use Woody's songs in their TV commercials. I guess the next step along this road to sanitized oblivion will be the launching of the Nuclear Attack Submarine Woody Guthrie. Trust me, that day will soon arrive. President Hillary Clinton will officiate at the christening.
