Interesting side note:
While Guthrie is a hero to most of the left, people aware of colonialism-related issues (Native American activists, etc) tend to get rather twitchy whenever “This land is your land” comes up.
I recently saw someone use “they totally Guthrie’d that” as a phrase meaning “well-meaning but obnoxious behaviour guided by unexamined racism”.
Woody was a dude, but nobody’s perfect.
