Which American folk musician famously painted the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists" on his guitar in 1941?

Woodie died of Huntington's disease, a heritable degenerative brain disorder. He was married twice and fathered 5 children. All 3 of his children from his first marriage succumbed to Huntington's. He had two children with his second wife, a son and a daughter. The daughter died as a child from burns caused by her nightgown catching fire. Arlo is the only child who survived, fortunately he did not inherent the gene for Huntington's but did inherit his dad's musical talent. It's believed that Woodie's mother also had Huntington's, she was institutionalized when he was young.

Diver Dan, and"The Train They Call The City Of New Orleans '

we could use Woody today. people are influenced to tolerance by the words they sing.

🎶This land is my land, This land is your land.🎶😎

wow!! he influenced alot of artists!!

Ty, the City of New Orleans was written by Steve Goodman. Arlo recorded it and charted with it. Steve Goodman was a great writer but seldom gets much press. John Prine and Steve were great friends. Lots online to discover.

ravn, if not our national anthem. at least our national song along with God Bless America! Hard to beat our National Anthem as it stands "by the dawn's early light" 🥰

funny how that "slogan" was printed by the daily worker, a communist publication.

One of the best performances I've ever been to was a Soundstage show in Chicago featuring Arlo Guthrie, Steve Goodman and Hoyt Axton in the mid 1970s. It was so special that I still remember it well!

Thanks SolarSailor

Player #4301265, not true. written by an unknown novice, originally rejected by Arlo and later sung by him

Phil Ochs was a Phenomenal Person and his music is still the Very Best in it's Genre for me. We love you Phil and we miss you too ☮

I had no clue. I used the 50/50 and still got it wrong! Debby

Player #25672957, that is very sad 😥

Before you call Trump a Fascist, LEARN what a Fascist really is.

johnwintergreen, ANTIFA. Really stands for Anti First Amendment. Don't let them fool you. They try their hardest to quell the FREE SPEECH of conservative Americans, they even resort to Violence to further their agenda.
