A lot of Woody Guthrie's songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song.
John Mellencamp
Even with politics, stuff comes around again. Woody Guthrie would recognize America today.
Billy Bragg
I got a phone call from Douglas Campbell and from Jerome Guthrie, who offered me a job out of the blue.
Jeffrey Jones
I went to a performance of 'The Crucible' at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that's what I wanted to do.
John Hawkes
It sounds like something from a Woody Guthrie song, but it's true; I was raised in a freight car.
Merle Haggard
My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between.
Tom Chapin
Though I acted in hundreds of productions, appeared at the Guthrie Theatre and on Broadway in Amadeus, I discovered in my thirties that I didn't really like stage acting. The presence of the audience, the eight shows a week and the possibility of a long run were all unnatural to me.
