No. For a man, of course, for a woman it would be much more difficult. The danger of being assaulted by men who assume that any woman who would travel that way is open to his advances. Woody said, you wait in the outskirts of town, and when the train is picking up speed, it's still not going too fast. You can grab a hold of it and swing on.
Getting off the first time, I didn't know how to do it, and I fell down and skinned my knees and elbow and broke my banjo. Fortunately, I had a camera with me, and I hocked it in a local pawn shop and bought a very cheap guitar. I knew a few chords, and I got through the rest of the summer playing the guitar. Woody was a direct actionist.

When he was singing once to raise money for war bonds during World War II, he and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee were in Baltimore. And they said, Mr. Guthrie, we have a seat for you at the table and your friends, we have some food for them in the kitchen. He said, what do you mean?

He tipped the whole table up in a big crowded dining hall, dumped a whole table full of plates and everything on the floor and tipped another table up. Finally, he was restrained. And Brownie says, Woody, you're going to get us all in trouble. I'm lame and Sonny's blind. And they let him out. He was absolutely furious. That was Woody Guthrie.

Well, long discussion. When I met Lee Hayes, I met one of the few geniuses I've met in my life. We were always talking and thinking what kind of songs were needed. We'd be trying out this and trying out that. Sometimes one person would start a song and another person would finish it. That's how it was with the song Talking Union. We'd heard Woody singing, you know, the old talking blues.

If you want to go to heaven, let me tell you what to do. Got to grease your feet with a little mutton stew. Slide out of the devil's hand. Ooze over in the promised land. Take it easy. Go greasy. Go greasy. So on. And I don't know whether it was Lee or Mill or me who thought of, you want higher wages, let me tell you what to do. Got to talk to the workers in the shop with you.

Got to build you a union. Got to make it strong. But if you all stick together, boys, it won't be long. It gets shorter hours. Better working conditions.
