Two songs stand out for me as the finest that Woody wrote. "The Ludlow Massacre" and "Pretty Boy Floyd" (some will rob you with a six-gun and some with a fountain pen). "Nineteen Thirteen Massacre" is another. Woody gave us American history that they have conveniently left out of school textbooks (especially those coming out of Texas by one of the Bushes).

Today's history books are Orwell's "Ministry of Truth" where history is being re-written to assume the "correct" values that the Christian Right wants you to have.

Woody told the truth. His songs reflect real history.
