Deep Thought

The death of Pete Seeger has me thinking of Woody Guthrie:



See the label on his guitar saying, "This machine kills fascists?"

Folk songs are about not some sort of generic emotional warm fuzzies.

They are about life, and they are about deep moral outrage.

H/t TPM for the picture (c. 1943).
