This is a protest song. If you weaklings had possessed the courage to do the right thing, you would have to protest because you would be enjoying the benefits of living in a democracy. Blame yourselves for Trump’s victory - you were complacent and self-deceiving - now we will ALL suffer for your weakness.

Unfortunately, the Hootenanny phase destroyed folk music, turning it from topical meanings in rough form to clean-cut, neatly pressed college music. Very few survived due to commercialism with Bob Dylan's first 3 albums showing the intended way it should always be done.
@marcnerenberg1 Күн бұрын
There's definitely some truth in what you say, though I think it's both an overstatement (i.e. folk music hasn't been "destroyed') and an oversimplification (there are a lot more forces involved than "the hootenanny phase"). But thanks for the comment!

Thank you for everything about this, Mr. Nerenberg. I applaud what @escapechimp9931 said, too. We know Woody only in glimpses, because of when he lived and his kind of non-bureaucratic approach to performing and recording. Here, you've brought us something that starts from his words and sounds, and extends them in his very spirit; *and* you fill us in on how you did it, & what really physically happens when you pick up that instrument. Viewers come to this page with our different things in mind -- somebody who's heard Bruce or Arlo point to Pete, and Pete point to Woody, but who doesn't yet know Woody; or a singer or a historian, or a hobo storyteller or a musicologist, or a kid on the way to being a darn good string-picker, or maybe a Boomer of the anti-war folk music days who flunked their CO status by answering "But would you have fought Hitler?" with a firm nod Yeah. Any of us might get what we came to this video for, *and* discover a couple of other angles on it. It's new tech for sure, but the way you're using it both preserves a tradition, and sets the music in front of people so we not only have it, but have it /in common/ . That's the union that'll tear the fascists down.
