🇺🇸 In the days of Carrie Underwoods, be a Woodie Guthrie.

I might have been playing Woody Guthrie in my car…and altering lyrics here and there. Like, say, his one to the tune of Old Joe Clark…

One of the reasons I am currently disappointed with Rage Against the Machine. Been phenomenal for years with their lyrics, then they get chosen to be in the Rick Hall of Fame, which is corporate as hell and they accept. F*ck that. Sex Pistols showed them what they should have done.

The Clash only formed because they saw The SexPistols in concert. 'Never Mind the Bollocks', is considered by critics to be better than most punk bands greatest hits albums. And again, The SexPistols were inaugurated into the Hall on 1 album half a US tour and 3 years as a band. Better than theClash
