A REAL Independent’s Day – Woody Guthrie’s Birthday

admin @ July 5, 2008 # One Comment

With Canada’s Birthday (July 1st), and America’s Independence Day (July 4th) having just ticked by, I thought a belated birthday reference was in order. And a proper reference to a coming birthday even more needed.

July 14th is the birthday of Woody Guthrie, an individual whose actions and life does more to inspire the spirit of independence and humanity than 100 nationalist ‘Independence Days’ combined (ie: Coney Island Hotdog Eating Contests).

It’s hard to find a more eloquent indictment of class inequality in modern song. Breaking that cycle is what is at the kernel of the independent spirit. Without belabouring the obvious ie: political parties already in the pockets of those who perpetutate such inequality - whether from India to the United Kingdom, it would be nice to remember Guthrie and have some assistance in reigniting the independent and revolutionary spirit we so sorely need.
Happy Birthday, Woody Guthrie.
