Woodie was a Communist. “This Land is Your Land” was a response to Kate Smith's “God Bless America,” written by George Gershwin.

I think you meant Irving Berlin, Not George Gershwin.
But it’s the THOUGHT that counts! LOL! :-)

Woodie was a Communist. “This Land is Your Land” was a response to Kate Smith's “God Bless America”First performed in 1938, Kate Smith's "God Bless America" was a hit in 1939 and again in 1940, and sold well for years afterwards. As the story goes, Guthrie didn't like the reference to God.
