there are criminals, and then there are criminals

As through this life I’ve rambled, I’ve seen lots of funny men,
Some will rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen.
But as through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam
You will never see an outlaw drive a family from their home.


From "Pretty Boy Floyd" by Woody Guthrie, Mar 1939

I always kinda liked Woody...even though his son Arlo was so very funny:)

I like Woody. Way back when I saw the Movie, Alice's Restaurant, there was a scene where Arlo went to see Woody in the hospital. Arlo had his guitar and he and someone else (Pete Segar) sang "I wanna go in the car, car" to Woody. So touching.

I have a recording of Woody singing his own songs. His voice is bad, but I don't care. I loved the songs.

I don't remember either of those scenes (or people) in the movie. But then maybe I didn't see the whole thing. Or know who they were at that point.
