Steve-o 'Woody Guthrie: A Life' - 1999 Biography by Klein (48) RE: Woody Guthrie Biography 24 Mar 04


Klein's book was superb. Who needs to go beyond it...who needs to "debunk they myths"...what is it with this stupid, typically American writing/reporting trend du jour??!! Does putting everyone and everything under the microscope, scrutinizing for accuracy, and then re-writing the stories somehow give us some new insight or expand our minds? I think not. I think it's not only pointless, but also insidious. It's a whole lot like buying all the books on how to improve our sex lives when we have lost the meaning of love. We need some jerk "debunking the myths" about Woody like a fish needs a bicycle.
