2. Yes he was. And the greatest thing about him was him being real and regular folk. |
|
And he sang real and regular folks' songs for us.

4. Good one. I prefer Woody. |
|
Fascism of course isn't only about white, neo-nazis and KKK. Fascism is unchecked control and greed that pushes down regular folk anywhere.

5. Woody's lyrics to the tune: |
|
I'm gonna tell you fascists You may be surprised The people in this world Are getting organized You're bound to lose You fascists bound to lose
Race hatred cannot stop us This one thing we know Your poll tax and Jim Crow And greed has got to go You're bound to lose You fascists bound to lose.
All of you fascists bound to lose: I said, all of you fascists bound to lose: Yes sir, all of you fascists bound to lose: You're bound to lose! You fascists: Bound to lose!
People of every color Marching side to side Marching 'cross these fields Where a million fascists dies You're bound to lose You fascists bound to lose!
I'm going into this battle And take my union gun We'll end this world of slavery Before this battle's won You're bound to lose You fascists bound to lose!

7. I always liked Pete Seeger's comments about Woody . . . |

"I couldn't stand him when he was around -- but I missed him when he wasn't." . . .
