Guthrie Publisher Lets Cartoon Use Song

[nyrnyr1994]

Anyone remember Woody Guthrie? He would probably say "Down w/ Bush!" Go away, fascists!

LOS ANGELES - This song is my song, this song is your song. That's the agreement reached between the publishers of Woody Guthrie's classic "This Land is Your Land" and JibJab Media, creators of an animated Internet short that uses the tune in a comic sendup of President Bush (news - web sites) and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s presidential campaigns.

1. Arlo himself likes it

He was interviewed on NPR a few weeks ago, from a phone at the Flying J truckstop in Des Moines IA (how Guthriesque is that?).

He loved it so much, he sent it out to friends, and called his sister Nora to tell her.

He said he couldn't speak for Woody, but he felt he would like it because it pokes fun politically.

2. Brilliant satire!

Must see.
