Comment:

A Hobo is to roam and work =Trusted,
A Tramp is to roam and dream =Untrusted,
A Bum is to roam and drink =Rejected,


Why are there many songs romanticizing the life and freedoms of the fair to poor members of society?
There is not much reason to shuffle these, cause usally they are one in the same...with not much distinction.

Remember,a good time rounder can get a whole gang of womens with a jug of shine...and take all the mens money with a deck of cards.
And that takes away from the popularity of a rounder...

I am in the middle of reading You Can't Win, by Jack Black. This mix would make a wonderful accompaniment.

"Long before William Burroughs was a gleam in anybody's eye, Jack Black was hooked on opium and gave himself the cure. Long before Kerouac wandered the continent in search of defiant thrills, Black had mastered the art of travelling for free and companioning with burglars, safecrackers, confidence men and bums."

Texas, you're ragged but right.
I know I wouldn't last long on the boxcars but I like hearing other folks make music out of it.

I'm an asshole and want to tell you that I would've added "Only A Hobo" and "I Am A Lonesome Hobo" by Bob Dylan, "Hobo's Lullaby" by Woody Guthrie, "Hobo's Lament" by Charles Manson and "The Tramp" by Cat Stevens. But that's just me and this is a great mix and idea all around. Definitely MotW.

I'd hop a freight train for a chance to hear this one, although a common trade would be a mite safer. Congrats on MOTW!

I'd love to trade for a copy of this. It looks amazing, and most definitely worth the MOTW title.
