I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.
Woody Guthrie
Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.
Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie
Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.
Woody Guthrie
