Billy Bragg, Steve Earle and More Salute Woody Guthrie

Last October, Tim Robbins, Billy Bragg, Steve Earle, the Tangents, a reunited Brad and Tom Morello joined together to salute Woody Guthrie and his wife, Marjorie, in order to raise funds for the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). The concert paid tribute to America's iconic singer-songwriter, who was afflicted with Huntington's Disease (HD), and Marjorie Guthrie, who founded the organization after his death. Marjorie aimed to find a cure for the genetic neurological disease while offering support to individuals and families affected by the illness.

Limited edition posters and concert t-shirts are available here, and all proceeds go directly to support HDSA's research program. For more information on Huntington's Disease and the Huntington's Disease Society of America, visit their website, or call 1-800-345-HDSA.

    Tim Robbins hosted the Celebration. He read Woody's poetry and sang several of Woody's anthemic songs.

    More than a thousand people jammed into Webster Hall to enjoy the music and take part in an important event, that raised needed funds for people afflicted with Huntington's Disease.

    Billy Bragg, whose interpretations of Woody Guthrie songs on "Mermaid Avenue" (volumes I and II) are classics, treats the crowd at Webster Hall to a Guthrie Classic.

    HDSA

    Tom Morello, The Night Watchman, and member of Rage Against the Machine explained the significance of Woody Guthrie to every American songwriter and got the crowd ready for an evening ending rousingly unique version of "This Land Is Your Land."

Of course Billy Bragg killed it. But why oh why do people keep booking Tom Morello? His solo act is worthless and he's extremely annoying.
