Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost Of Tom Joad

Thanks for sharing these

Not relevant to the Tom Joad specifically, but I want to share a couple more Woody Guthrie tracks that I discovered over the past week. I'm sure many people are aware he is much more than just "This Land is Your Land", but I wasn't.

Tear the Fascists Down

All You Fascists Bound to Lose

And a bonus cover in a modern bluegrass style: The Bootstrap Boys - All You Fascists

And finally: The Almanac Singers - Which Side Are You On? - this is like a supergroup of leftist folk artists, including Guthrie, who recorded a whole album of labor songs in 1941.

Sorry for the tangent.

Yeah this song fucking HITS. If you've never been to LA, and wanted to feel urban decay on a moonless night with a sprawl of crumbling concrete and half illuminated street lights, this is it. Modern poetry.
