Guthrie's defiance

In one of his most defiant songs, Woody Guthrie sings, "That ol' dust storm / Killed my babies / But it won't kill me, no / And it won't kill me ... That ol' dust storm / Blew this world down / But it won't blow me down / And it won't blow me down!"

I can't think of a better attitude in these troubled times. I try to embrace this attitude as much as possible.

You know who had a similarly admirable arrogance of survival? Henry Miller.
