Woody Guthrie
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) was an American singer-songwriter, one of the most significant figures in American western folk music; his music, including songs, such as "
This Land Is Your Land", has inspired several generations both politically and musically.
He wrote hundreds of country, folk, and children's songs, along with ballads and improvised works.
His album of songs about the Dust Bowl period, "Dust Bowl Ballads", is included on "Mojo" magazine's list of 100 Records That Changed The World.
Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.
Songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Hunter, Harry Chapin, John Mellencamp, Pete Seeger, Andy Irvine, Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg, Jerry Garcia, Jay Farrar, Bob Weir, Jeff Tweedy, Bob Childers, Sammy Walker, Tom Paxton, AJJ, Brian Fallon, and Sixto Rodríguez have acknowledged Guthrie as a major influence.
He frequently performed with the slogan "This machine kills fascists" displayed on his guitar.
Guthrie was brought up by middle-class parents in Okemah, Oklahoma, until he was 14, when his mother Mary was hospitalized as a consequence of Huntington's disease, a fatal hereditary neurological disorder.
His father moved to Pampa, Texas, to repay debts from unsuccessful real estate deals.
During his early teens, Guthrie learned folk and blues songs from his parents' friends.
He married at 19, but with the advent of the dust storms that marked the Dust Bowl period, he left his wife and three children to join the thousands of Okies who were migrating to California looking for employment.
He worked at Los Angeles radio station KFVD, achieving some fame from playing hillbilly music; made friends with Will Geer and John Steinbeck; and wrote a column for the communist newspaper "People's World" from May 1939 to January 1940.
Throughout his life, Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, although he did not appear to belong to any.
With the outbreak of World War II and the non-aggression pact the Soviet Union had signed with Germany in 1939, the owners of KFVD radio were not comfortable with Guthrie's political leanings.
He left the station, ending up in New York where he wrote and recorded his 1940 album "Dust Bowl Ballads", based on his experiences during the 1930s, which earned him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour".
In February 1940 he wrote his most famous song, "
This Land Is Your Land".
He said it was a response to what he felt was the overplaying of Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" on the radio.
Guthrie was married three times and fathered eight children.
His son Arlo Guthrie became nationally known as a musician.
Guthrie died in 1967 from complications of Huntington's disease.
His first two daughters also died of the disease.
During his later years, in spite of his illness, Guthrie served as a figurehead in the folk movement, providing inspiration to a generation of new folk and country musicians, including mentoring Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Bob Dylan.

Roll On (The Living End album)
Roll
On is the second album by Australian rock band The Living End, released in Australia and New Zealand on EMI in 2000, and internationally on Reprise/ Warner Brothers in 2001.
Musically, the album marked a change from the sound of their debut album," The Living End".
Roll
On had a notably more polished sound( as compared to the more garage- y sound of the previous album).
Horn sections featured on numerous songs, such as" Uncle Harry" and" Killing The Right".
Whereas the previous album had displayed punk and rockabilly influences( by artists such as Green Day and Stray Cats), Roll
On showed more Australian rock influences, particularly artists of the 80s Pub Rock era.
The album even garnered comparison, by a few critics, to seminal punk band The Clash's creative breakthrough," London Calling".
The album was recorded with producer Nick Launay, who had previously worked with artists such as Silverchair and Midnight Oil.
It also marked the last major work featuring drummer Travis Demsey.
In the downtime following the album's release and subsequent tour, he would leave the band, to be replaced by Andy Strachan.
ARIA publicised that Roll
On had officially achieved 2 x Platinum status in Australia in November 2007.
This was a great achievement as all of their other album releases were simultaneously awarded a higher accreditation.
These new figures, however, indicated that sales of Roll On had been topped by the band's fourth studio release, State Of Emergency.
This now means that the Roll On album now takes the position as the band's third most successful release.
