#OTD in 1967, Woody Guthrie lost his battle with Huntington’s Disease at the age of 55. His legacy is the idea that a songwriter could be a reporter, storyteller, agitator and voice for the people. His “This Land Is Your Land” has become something of an alternative national anthem. #NotAOneHitWonder
