Anyone have any insight into the "woody guthrie sang about b-e-e-t-s, not b-e-a-t-s" line?
My read is that in the past music was about social issues (people going hungry), but now the music has narcissistically become about music itself.
One more thing and then I promise I'm done with this song (for today anyway):
Any other Americans like me feel like this about our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
"I'm guilty of murder of
innocent men, innocent women, innocent children
thousands of them
my planes, my guns, my money, my soul
my blood on my hands
it's all my fault
I must not think bad thoughts"
In the Woody Gutherie song 'Pastures of Plenty'...there's a line about digging up beets from the ground. So he sang as about the food beets and not beats as in music.

@jsaul This song came out long before the US went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, but is certainly applicable to those wars. At the time this song came out, the US was very much involved in civil wars in Central America.
