From a posting to the Springsteen link, this...

Lots of people don't realize Woody Guthrie's writing was superb -- enlightening, funny, ironic and always with a love of the working man at its core.

"This Land is Your Land" is one of those tunes we can all recite from heart, at least the first verse. Just for kicks, you might want to read the rest, including the last two verses, which you hardly ever see:

This land is your land, this land is my land;
From California, to the New York Island;
From the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me!

As I was walking a ribbon of highway;
I saw above me an endless skyway;
I saw below me a golden valley;
This land was made for you and me!

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps;
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me!

The sun comes shining as I was strolling;
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling;
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting;
This land was made for you and me!

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me!

In the squares of the city,
In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me? "
