Before Springsteen and before Dylan, there was Woody Guthrie. With "This Machine Kills Fascists," scrawled across his guitar in big black letters, Woody Guthrie brilliantly captured in song the experience of twentieth-century America. Whether he sang about union organizers, migrant workers, or war, Woody took his inspiration from the plight of the people around him as well as from his own tragic childhood.
Elizabeth Partridge connects Guthrie's life and his music by showing how he brought the events that occurred during his life into his lyrics. He was influenced by the people he met and the Great Depression. He wrote songs that the people he met could remember and sing again. He wrote songs that were about everyday people.
