Woody Guthrie was what folks who don't believe in anything would call an anomaly. Admittedly, the intersection of space and time at the corner of July 14, 1912, and Okemah, Oklahoma, was a long shot to produce anything like a national treasure.
Woody was born in one of the most desolate places in America, just in time to come of age in the worst period in our history. ...

For me personally, Woody is my hero of heroes and the only person on earth that I will go to my grave regretting that I never met.

A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot.
