Aaron Meshon Honors Woody Guthrie's 100 Birthday

Jul 11, 2012

Re-post from EMUSIC:

"The lyrics to Woody Guthrie’s most famous song are carved so deep into American culture that to even read them is to start singing them: “This land is your land, this land is my land…” But contained in those words is a powerful declaration: that this country belongs to all of us and none of us — that it’s a shared experience, something that can only be enjoyed when there’s room enough for all. In honor of that great spirit, and in honor of Woody’s incredible ability to create richly-drawn characters in each of his songs, eMusic asked illustrator Aaron Meshon to create a map depicting 20 of Woody’s most famous songs. How many can you find?"
