I just finished the biography I've been reading about Woody Guthrie. Makes me a little sad that it's over. I felt like I was livin' right along side him during certain parts. I really like what he said here in a letter to Alan Lomax:
"Music is some kind of electricity that makes a radio out of a man and his dial is his head and he just sings according to how he's a feeling. The best stuff you can sing about is what you saw and if you look hard enough you can see plenty to sing about..."
