Thread Name: Distortion of History in Folk Song
Subject: RE: Distortion of History in Folk Song
I saw Billy Bragg last year. He was talking about the era that Woodie Guthrie was performing, and how he wrote songs about women's rights when no one else was - contemporaries such as Glen Miller were playing "men's music".

Didn't Woody leave his family to philander his way across the US?
