This Land is Your Land, right??

Woody Guthrie is known for the songs he wrote about the same time that the Joads and many other families were experiencing what we see in the story.....


Bruce Springsteen, as well as a few others, did a remake of Woody Guthrie's old song "This land is your land"...considered to be one of the greatest songs in American history....

Before singing it recently at a concert , Bruce said that he is not sure if this song is true anymore, but that it "oughta be"...

Listen and reflect on the words Woody Guthrie wrote as Springsteen sings....

Do you hear promise? or despair?

Do you hear hope? or disappointment?

What caused these emotions in the hearts of the people of this time?
