		<title>Rave Ups:  The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Woody was born in 1912 in Okemah, Oklahoma and started on his ramblin&#8217; ways at an early age.  He moved from Pampa, Texas to California to New York City; drifting through the rest of America in between.  The musical impact of Guthrie is immeasurable to modern folk music as well as popular music as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rave Ups &#8211; Woody Guthrie Documentaries on DVD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[







There are two documentary films available about American Folk legend Woody Guthrie.  The first released in 2005 is called Woody Guthrie: This Machine Kills Fascists.  The other is a PBS documentary from the American Masters series that was released in 2007 called American Masters: Woody Guthrie.
Both films are pretty similar, obviously sharing the same subject [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rave Ups:  O Brother, Where Art Thou?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What a great film.  The Cohen Brothers at their best in my opinion.  It&#8217;s a wonderfully clever retelling  of Homer&#8217;s Iliad in the style of a 3 Stooges movie set in an alternate universe during a time period much like Depression/Dust Bowl era America.  But as this is not a film blog, I digress [...]]]></description>
