“The note of hope is the only note that can help us or save us from falling to the bottom of the heap of evolution, because, largely, about all a human being is, anyway, is just a hoping machine, a working machine.”

I sure do love Woody Guthrie. If you like Woody or you’re just a general fan of humanity, this is a nice book. Every bit of wisdom from Woody is worthwhile. If you’ve listened to interviews with Woody, it’s easy to see how he writes exactly as he speaks, which is pretty fun. He rambles about various ideas and philosophies in these writings, many of which are profound.
