Lighter Origins: Great American Bum (98* d) RE: Origins: Great American Bum 10 Nov 23

Historical fun fact:

McClintock's song (12 Dec 14, from Joe) was entered (without his name) as evidence in the U.S. House of Representatives, "Investigation of Communist Propaganda: Hearings Before a Special Committee to Investigate Communist Activities in the United States" (1930).

It was being promoted, along with "The Red Flag" and other songs for "workers' education," by Communist Party members in Pontiac, Michigan.

In 1928 McClintock copyrighted the following titles:

Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

Hallelujah I'm a Bum.

Bum's Song.

Bum Song No. 2.
