The Ghost of Tom Joad Bruce Springsteen Men walking 'long the railroad tracks Going someplace, there's no going back Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Shelter line stretching 'round the corner Welcome to the new world order Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest No home, no job, no peace, no rest Well the highway is alive tonight But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes I'm sitting down here in the campfire light Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass You got a one-way ticket to the promised land You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Bathing in the city's aqueduct Go! Well the highway is alive tonight Where it's headed everybody knows I'm sitting down here in the campfire light Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Look for me, Mom, I'll be there Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand Or a decent job or a helping hand Wherever somebody's struggling to be free Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me" Yeah!

How many songs can speak to us like "The ghost of Tom Joad"? A monument of literature (The John Steinbeck's novel, "Grapes of Wrath"), a part of history of the United States while at the great depression, the tragedy the people leaving their farms and homes and running away from the sand storms to try to reach their dream place - California to give hope and future to their children... Eventually “welcomed” as Okies - “people of a lesser importance”. Once again, about 80 years since that chapter of history, things haven’t changed much in the world. We are in awe watching the tragedy of the people fleeing war zones or places without hope, looking for a place amongst the societies that harvest and take advantage most of Earth richness and wealth to give their children a better future. This is a great video, watched it many times and truly inspired by it ! Thank you !!!

Steinbeck's incredible ability to touch every human being's heart at its deepest, even millions of miles away from his country and even after 80+ years, is a gift we all need to cherish and to spread around us, to our families, friends and to the newer generations. That book was definitely a life changer and this song perfectly portrays it. I ain't American, nor a farmer, I wasn't even born during the great depression era of the USA, but the book remains relatable for hundreds of millions of poors, oppressed, immigrants and family-attached people, or should I say basically for everyone of us who are capable of having a feeling of empathy.

Obviously you don't get Henry Fonda on the original! According to Wikipedia: The song made several appearances on Springsteen's 2006 "big folk" Sessions Band Tour, in a new arrangement that featured member Frank Bruno handling some of the vocals, and two extended instrumental passages that saw soaring interplay between violin, pedal steel guitar, trumpet, and harmonica. So it's Frank Bruno I believe. I thought about using the Springsteen/Tom Morello version but the guitar work was too strong on the version I had at the time. This video has really grown legs since I first published it 4? years ago and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This was Steinbeck's greatest novel. The speech you here at the beginning and thru out the song was written for the movie. I believe in 1949.. The books ending is completely different. The book end's when the family finds a young child and his father in a barn while taking cover from a storm. The father hasn't eaten in 6 days the the young boy says. He is just about finished. Then Rose of Sharon steps up. She was pregnant and the baby was still born but her breast's are still fool of milk. She tells everyone to step out, unbuttons her blouse and lays down beside him and then begins to breast feed him.

But there is something more important for those who will listen. There is the will of the people to endure and fight against oppression. I think we call this the American spirit". - John Steinbeck

Fascinating piece of cultural history: Steinbeck did not travel to Oklahoma himself, but were inspired by photo stories produced by Lange and Arthur Rothstein (Lange and Rothstein were actually hired by Roosevelt's New Deal administration to document US countryside in the 1930s). Woody Guthrie did in fact travel around the country like the Okies, so unlike Steinbeck he had first hand experience. Guthrie also used Rothstein's photos. Steinbeck in 1940 invited Guthrie to fundraising event where he met Pete Seeger. And as we know, Guthrie was Dylan's idol. Springsteen was also inspired by Guthrie. Steinbeck, Dylan and Springsteen are now big names. But it all began with the Dust Bowl, New Deal and Guthrie's travel!

@@andrewgreaves6448 I'm not sure why you wouldn't question her; the fact that she wrote a few novels and a few papers on why the people who flunked her out of her introductory history and logic classes must have been intellectually/ morally deficient grants her no more intellectual clout than the thousands of other first-years who fail/ drop out because "the professor didn't like me" every year. She's just lucky that she found wealthy American funders who were afraid of the rise in trade-unionists (particularly German ones fleeing the rising shitshow in their homeland) and were therefore sympathetic to the hyper-partisan depiction of the world with them as the heroes she provided. (Which, as I believe you alluded to, was then taken and run with as the base assumptions to many of the more damaging supply-side economic models of the 20th century.) There _are_ good things to be found in Rand's theorizing, but they are the same good things that can be found in the much more rigorously thought out and internally consistent works of many philosophers; including the ones she straw-mans in order to make herself _seem_ like the logical superior too.

Очень рекомендую кавер версию этой песни , адаптированную под наше время на русском языке в исполнении Константина Сёмина , он уже вписал своё имя в историю борьбы трудящихся против капитализма ! kzitem.info/news/bejne/yYprmnios2V_hXo по моему мнению она даже сильнее оригинала ! А так же рекомендую посмотреть kzitem.info/news/bejne/2GmE2n2fe5yBpno , лучшее , что видел на ютубе

Possibly, although from what I recall the Woody Guthrie Tom Joad songs tell the story of the book (in some detail) whereas this song is about evoking the ghost of Tom Joad in the modern world. But influence and adaption are everywhere, and as both Springsteen and Seeger took inspiration from Guthrie it is inevitable that his influence is felt here

@@harveywetdog I'm glad it is a success, your work is excellent, and this portrayal of reality for farmers, and sharecroppers during the Dust Bowl era is often overlooked. And from what I've seen, Americans are suffering the same privations in the here and now. I love Steinbeck's work anyway, but this story haunts me, as it shows how barbaric people can become.
Don’t think that something like this couldn’t happen again or even worse. My grandpa and grandma migrated west from red river thx my grandpa told me it was worse than John Steinbeck wrote.

There was once a country where people did not know for more than 30 years (1950-1985) what hunger or unemployment or ignorance is where they dreamed of travelling to diffetent planets and even distant galaxies where children could play outside safely and thr criminality was rediculous. Then the big business destroyed this country and paid to hundreds of dishonest writers and journalists to besmear it. Now not many people know the real truth about this country. My beloved Motherland, the Soviet Union. I cry upon it every night! The pain has become stronger. I will never forget and never forgive this crime: murdering my motherland
