Woody Guthrie's Granddaughter on JibJab Controversy
Posted by Ernest Miller
Earlier this week I noted what Arlo Guthrie, son of Woody Guthrie, had to say about the JibJab controversy (Arlo Guthrie on JibJab Parody: An "Incredibly Wonderful Bit of Hilarity"). Arlo's daughter (Woody's granddaughter), Cathy Guthrie, has come out in favor of the parody as well:
I can speak for myself and my immediate family including my Dad, that we all love it! We've all seen it and passed it along to our friends and family. It's incredibly clever, funny and a nice break from the heavy tones of politics going on right now. My personal opinion is that if I were the one who had written that song, I would be honored to have it used that way. If they start selling that song and making money, then I might be concerned about getting my royalties, but as far as I know, they haven't made any money from showing it on their site for free. That parody was made for you and me.
Cathy Guthrie is one half of the
Folk Uke duo (the other half of the duo being Amy Nelson).
Cathy Guthrie had emailed Mark Frauenfelder, who is a Ukulele fanatic.
