Dave Marsh in Counterpunch: “The first time ‘God Bless America’ became a hit, around 1940, Woody Guthrie grew annoyed at the sanctimonious jingoism and wrote an answer…: ‘This land is your land.’” Woody is sort of our household saint, I guess. It’s good to see him being invoked now. He has so much more to offer (with all due respect) than Irving Berlin at a time like this.
