Do you know who Ani Difranco is? She sings about him on one of her newer cds. She is more of the grandaughter of "radical" folk singers.

 

[dballer]

of course I know who she is!!! Do you like her???

I was gonna say, the more appropriate question here would probably be "Does anybody even know who he is?"

Anyway, I don't know if Ani Difranco is worth a flying rat's ass (I suspect not), but w/o Woody Guthrie, there would likely be no Bob Dylan. So for that, I say "the guy couldn't have been that bad."

There's a "song" (poem more like it) on The Bootleg Series "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie"

That's my contribution to this thread. Oh, and Dylan rocks!

hell yea, she is. that girl is pure talent. She's a tall drink of water on a hot summer day compared to *GAG* Britney or any over-manicured mainstream female artists for that matter.

hell yea!


Wilco rocks. I'm not familiar with Woody Guthrie either, but if he had any influence on Bob then he must be something quite great.

He's a cutie. In a Howdy Doody sense. I see Billy Bragg's name mentioned, he's another talented one.
