This machine kills fascists - Wikipedia

Here’s an interesting article about the same musician: https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-21/why-woody-guthries-guitar-was-a-fascist-killer.html

Relevant paragraph:

Woody Guthrie’s guitar didn’t kill fascists because it fired bullets. It killed by neutralizing the fascists. Music, like culture, has the power to defeat right-wing extremists and their antidemocratic ideas rooted in xenophobia, racism, homophobia and sexism. Guthrie fought using ideas, language, music and the shared desire to build a better future together.

      Thanks. I use voice to text and really need to proofread more often.

      I swear, voice to text was better on Android 12 than after it got the big upgrade on Android 13 (if I’m recalling the versions correctly). Though it was still an issue then.

      Edit calling: Correcting voice to text grammar

      You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick, and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it—in harmony—they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of ‘em. And three people do it—three, can you imagine?—three people walking in, singing a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out?—they may think it’s an organization. And can you—can you imagine fifty people a day—I said fifty people a day!—walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think it’s a movement! And that’s what it is, the Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar. With feeling

      So we’ll wait til it comes around on the guitar here, and sing it when it does.‎‎ Here it comes.‎

          It has so many great gags and one liners, this song never fails to cheer me up just a bit any time I hear it.
