When it comes to influence is there anyone more vital to modern American music than Woody Guthrie? No Woody Guthrie; no Bruce Springsteen. No Woody Guthrie; no Bob Dylan
- & a world without Bob Dylan would be ever bit as sparse & bleak as a world without John Lennon. It may be 'cooler' to concentrate on the debt that rock n' roll owes the early blues pioneers; but the power of folk music is equally as vital in shaping the musical landscape of the 20th Century & no one did more to bring it to the world than the genius of Woody Guthrie. So wave you folk flag with this Woody Guthrie T-shirt.
