February 23, 1940 – Woody Guthrie wrote “This Land Is Your Land”, his ode to the beauty of the American landscape and a cynical response to Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America”, which Woody felt ignored the realities of poverty and inequality since not all Americans were feeling blessed post-Great Depression.

Let’s mark the occasion and hear SONGS WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO OTHER SONGS.
