Peasant/Helen Butcher. Have you any idea how many people got into folk music because of Woody Guthrie? I can tell you it was far more than were ever alienated by his anti-fascism and his Communism and his belief that all human beings were created equal, irrespective of race or colour or religion. I'm talking about good solid socialists and freethinkers and anti-racists. People I would be proud to walk in the footsteps of, not the cowardly wretches and supposed "master race" members of the far right.
