Yesterday, I offered a hat tip to Rosanne Cash for narrating my new PBS film re: Woody Guthrie, and today I'd like to do same for old pal Bruce Springsteen (and Jon Landau) for allowing crucial use of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" in the film. You can watch/listen here: www.pbs.org/video/woody-...
Special hat tip today to Rosanne Cash for agreeing to narrate my new PBS Woody Guthrie film, put in extra hours doing it and doing such a tremendous and moving job, as many have noted. Listen and watch: www.pbs.org/video/woody-...
Just posted my by friend Will Bunch at Philly Inquirer: "Tuesday is Woody Guthrie’s birthday. Now Greg Mitchell has directed a new documentary about the musician, his political activism, and his lasting influence. You can — and should! — stream it here." www.pbs.org/video/woody-...

My latest: a dozen hot cartoons, "Severance" meets "The Office" and a tribute to Rhiannon Giddens after canceling her Kennedy Center gig. gregmitchell.substack.com/p/the-kenned...
As I predicted: Rhiannon Giddens just canceled her Kennedy Center concert in May and moved it nearby. Bravo! gregmitchell.substack.com/p/musk-and-t...
My latest: Trump's scariest quote ever this weekend, but Leonard Cohen predicted it...read and listen to "The Future." Plus a dozen hot cartoons. gregmitchell.substack.com/p/leonard-co...
My latest today: on Jack White closing "SNL" celebration w/ Neil Young--and Neil's classic 1979 "SNL" which I attended. Plus Sheryl Crow gets rid of her Tesla, Joan Baez on the Kennedy Center fiasco, and a dozen hot cartoons. gregmitchell.substack.com/p/snl-party-...
One of my most popular posts here ever, from earlier today: Idea going around--Democratic leadership should ASAP name an "alternate" HHS secretary--someone to provide public updates and health information. And "shadow" leaders for other depts too, w/ press conferences, policy, budgets, speeches.
One of the 13 cartoons in my latest post. gregmitchell.substack.com/p/if-doge-ru...
Sincere question here: I didn't watch the Grammy broadcast last night but have seen plenty of highlights. Will you mention even one (what I or you would call) rock 'n roll live performance from last night? Name it here or post link, thanks.
Re-posting my annual Buddy Holly tribute with a dozen great cover songs by Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Lennon, Ronstadt, Lyle Lovett, Modest Mouse, The Band, Fiona Apple, more. Final photo of him, colorized: gregmitchell.substack.com/p/the-day-bu...
Today would be a good day for the mainstream media, after years of dodging evidence, and lacking courage, and now with fresh evidence, declare that Trump is a racist--not "some say" or "critics claim."
