More From Woody Guthrie

There are fast ideas and slow ideas, just as there are fast trains and slow trains. when it comes to money, most people are on the slow train looking out the window watching the fast train pass them by. if you want to become rich quickly, your plan must include fast ideas.
Ideas People Want
Intellectual culture seems to separate high art from low art. low art is horror or pornography or anything that has a physical component to it and engages the reader on a visceral level and evokes a strong sympathetic reaction. high art is people driving in volvos and talking a lot. i just don't want to keep those things separate. i think you can use visceral physical experiences to illustrate larger ideas, whether they're emotional or spiritual. i'm trying to not exclude high and low art or separate them.

Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast, and their fast runs too slow." ken mierke says. "so they're just training their bodies to burn sugar, which is the last thing a distance runner wants. you've got enough fat stored to run to california, so the more you train your body to burn fat instead of sugar, the longer your limited sugar tank is going to last." -the way to activate your fat-burning furnace is by staying below your aerobic threshold--your hard-breathing point--during your endurance runs.

First, consider the pen you write with. it should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. you don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. a ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. try out different kinds. don't get too fancy and expensive. i mostly use a cheap sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... you want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on paper.

No matter how low down you are; no matter what your disposition has been; you may be low in your thoughts, words, and actions; you may be selfish; your heart may be overflowing with corruption and wickedness; yet jesus will have compassion upon you. he will speak comforting words to you; not treat you coldly or spurn you, as perhaps those of earth would, but will speak tender words, and words of love and affection and kindness. just come at once. he is a faithful friend - a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Somebody/ anybody sing a black girl's song bring her out to know herself to know you but sing her rhythms carin/ struggle/ hard times sing her song of life she's been dead so long closed in silence so long she doesn't know the sound of her own voice her infinite beauty she's half-notes scattered without rhythm/ no tune sing her sighs sing the song of her possibilities sing a righteous gospel let her be born let her be born & handled warmly.

Girl Racism Empowerment
All these girls swooning over hunky vampires, what they really want is to give away their freedom, to be controlled and told what to do and not have to think -- and never die, of course. it's sick is what it is. i don't want to be a forever-young living corpse.

Because i have a girlfriend, i try and take the straight and narrow path, which is good because it prevents vd.

Girls have long been evaluated on the basis of appearance and caught in myriad double binds: achieve, but not too much, be polite,but be yourself, be feminine and adult; be aware of our cultural heritage, but don't comment on the sexism. . . . girls are trained to be less than who they really are. they are trained to be what the culture wants of its young women, not what they themselves want to become.
