Notes: Woody Guthrie wrote and first recorded the protest song in 1944, during World War II. Guthrie is known for his anti-fascist stance, and his guitar famously bore the words "This Machine Kills Fascists". The song has been covered and reinterpreted by many artists since, and is a well-known anti-fascist anthem.
