July '05 GoatNotes

“I hate a song that makes you think that you’re not any good
I hate a song that makes you think that you’re just born to lose
Bound to lose
No good to nobody
No good for nothin’
Because you’re either too old or too young
Or too fat or too slim
Or too ugly or too this or too that
I hate songs that run you down
Songs that poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or your hard travelin’
I’m out to fight those kinds of songs to my very last breath of air
And my last drop of blood.”
Folkways, Original Vision — Woody Guthrie
