Another example of suits stealing music from us. If Woody Guthrie were alive today, he'd laugh his ass off at the jibjab version if he hadn't already written it himself. Those people who own the rights are the ones corrupting Guthrie's message. Fuckers!

In school they don't teach you all of the verses of "This Land is Your Land" but there are revolutionary and totally anti-establishment alternative verses (sorry, I can't find them to quote right now). He would hate people taking his music and using it against people just like him trying to send a message through satire, etc. Guthrie was always fucking with his own lyrics, changing them to suit whatever political commentary he wanted to make for whatever audience he was performing to.

Sigh.
