Hold on that! Ya reallly gonna take issue with...

"and on th' oth'r siiide,
it di'n't say nuh-thin'...
that side wuz made fer you 'n' meee!"

That's pure poetry, maan! Greatest lyric ever lyred.

Plus, I'm pretty sure it inspired that song about the kid hiding his hair under his hat to get a job, another classic.

Seriously (you guys) without Woody, Arlo would never have popularized Steve Goodman's City of New Orleans.
