Wikipedia citation above says something similar:
“Notwithstanding Guthrie’s later claim that “the best thing that I did in 1936 was to sign up with the Communist Party,” he was never a member of the Party. He was noted as a fellow traveler—an outsider who agreed with the platform of the party while not subject to party discipline.”
...but note that Guthrie’s later claim that he WAS a member. Who ya gonna believe? The man himself? Or a biographer? Maybe he was like Obama, just polishing up his street cred?
You could be right but I don't think that anyone can be certain at this point.However,the statement that "driftless" made,the one to which I responded in post #12,is either correct or it's incorrect.If,by chance,it's correct than I'll give Guthrie credit for that.Hell,I'll even give Osama Obama credit for not having been involved in JFK's assassination.Of course that's about all I'll give him credit for.
