Pete Seeger & Woody Guthrie, 1940.
You're an idiot. Play a record.
Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm 22 years old, living in Sydney, Australia.
I'm a huge fan of classic films and good time music, but also a whole bunch of things. I also tend to post a lot of attractive women on this blog, so look forward to that.
I also run a blog dedicated to the actress Paulette Goddard: http://paulette-goddard.tumblr.com/
And I run a blog dedicated to the New York punk rock scene of the mid 70s: http://fuckyeahnewyorkpunk.tumblr.com/

Ramblin’ Round by Woody Guthrie
My mother prayed that I would be
A man of some renown,
But I’m just a refugee
As I go a ramblin’ ‘round
boys,
As I go a ramblin’ ‘round.

“On assignment for LIFE in 1943, photographer Eric Schaal followed Guthrie as he gave impromptu performances around New York — in bars, on the stoops of brownstones, on the subway. Engaging, charming, and at ease, the Woody Guthrie in these photos is exactly where he most liked to be: among the people, guitar in hand.”(spotted on the excellent music & politics blog Exile On Moan Street)

Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
all the things that I’m a-sayin’ an’ a-many times more
I’m a-singin’ you the song, but I can’t sing enough
’cause there’s not many men that done the things that you’ve done.

Woody Guthrie by Erich Schaal (NYC, January 1, 1943)
It is officially July 14th where I lie, currently embracing Woody’s day. Born in 1912, today the man would have been 99 years old.
Rest in peace and forever bound for glory, dear. We owe you many thanks.
