Sen. Josh Hawley referenced a Woody Guthrie song — “This Land Is Your Land” — in the title of a recent bill. But the family of one of America’s most revered folk singers wasn’t exactly thrilled.
There are no legal protections for titles of songs being used or parodied and Guthrie noted that the same title was used for a 2019 bill to prevent the construction of a border wall. She said she believes the Guthrie’s song is nonpartisan and that it’s an anthem for the people, rather than for the government.
“The Kansas City Star is where journalism goes to die,” Marone said. “Josh’s bill protects America’s food chain, farmers, and national security - that’s the real story The Star should cover.” Guthrie’s lyrics were often political, championing the cause of unions and lauding public works projects under the Roosevelt administration.and penned “Old Man Trump,” a protest song against his landlord Fred Trump, which was revived decades later when Fred’s son, Donald Trump, was elected president.
