dylan was the great lyricist, but many others stepped up. david crosby's guitar was considered a deadly weapon by texas prisons

the church hymns "we shall overcome", the old folk singers . woody guthrie's guitar was emblazoned with "this machine kills fascists."


we need more music, and newer, but here is a simple tune from the dust bowl ........

pete seeger warming up the march on washington for dr king''s little speech. seeger introduces dylan at the end

And of course, that is Bruce Springsteen to Pete Seeger's left. Who is the other guitar player? Anyone know?
