Quote in *The Invisible Woman* by W. Charisse Goodman, heading her last
chapter, "Invisible No More":
"I hate a song that makes you think that you're not any good. I hate a
song that makes you think you're just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good
to nobody. No good for nothin'. 'Cause you're either too old or too young,
too fat or too thin, or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run
you down, songs that poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or your
hard traveling. I am out to fight those kinds of songs with my very last
breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that prove
to you that this is *your* world."
Woody Guthrie
*Bound for Glory*
