3/4. Billy Bragg goes on the trail of American folk legend Woody Guthrie (1912-67) to tell the story of an artist who influenced so many - including Bob Dylan , who described him as "my last hero" - yet who lived so modestly. The story continues with a look at Guthrie's affinity with Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck , who, like Woody, was moved by the plight of the Depression-era poor farmers (aka "Okies").
With input from Bruce Springsteen , Pete Seeger , Bill Murlin , and former naval pal Jimmy Longhi.
