From Wiki:
Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American and Canadian schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.
Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour". Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, though he was never an actual member of any.
The article has a short paragraph about Guthrie's time in Pampa:
Eventually, Guthrie's father sent for his son to come to Texas where little would change for the now-aspiring musician. Guthrie, then 18, was reluctant to attend high school classes in Pampa and spent much time learning songs by busking on the streets and reading in the library at Pampa's city hall. He was growing as a musician, gaining practice by regularly playing at dances for his father's half-brother Jeff Guthrie, a fiddle player. At the library, he wrote a manuscript summarizing everything he had read on the basics of psychology. A librarian in Pampa shelved this manuscript under Guthrie's name, but it was later lost in a library reorganization.

Happy Birthday, Woody Guthrie!
Romo Says "No Mo"
Jessica Simpson Dumped by Tony Romo
A source close to Simpson confirms they broke up the night before her 29th birthday July 10. She was supposed to celebrate with a Ken and Barbie-themed party.
I'm just spitballin' here, but I'd bet a hundred bucks the Barbie party might have been the last straw for the Dallas quarterback. Breaking up with her was probably the only way he thought he could get out of it.
Now I'm hopin' the DallasCowboys.com message boards will maybe, just maybe, give it a rest.
On the other hand, maybe not; the cries of "Romo the Homo" will probably increase.
An Old Man's Vision
An old man went for his annual physical. He told the doctor that he felt fine, but often had to go to the bathroom during the night. Then he said, "But you know Doc, I'm blessed. God knows my eyesight is going, so he puts on the light when I pee, and turns it off when I'm done!"
A little later in the day, Dr. Smith called the man's wife and said, "Your husband's test results were fine, but he said something strange that has been bugging me. He claims that God turns the light on and off for him when uses the bathroom at night."
His wife exclaimed, "That old fool! He's been peeing in the refrigerator again!"
Keep on Zoomin'
hehkuva is a fascinating page; wait for it to load, then select a grid on the first picture.
You'll then zoom in on that area, select anywhere on it, and you'll zoom in yet again.
As you zoom in, you'll see the grid is composed of many other photos.
Click anywhere on the grid, and it will zoom in on another photo.
Then you can do it all over again! Zoom Zoom Zoom!
You'll see photos you've seen before, but after playing with it for thirty minutes, I did get new photos with each zoom.

Edit: Just did it again after publishing this post, and saw a photo of a pooping dog. I didn't see any other offensive photos, but that's not to say there isn't any. There are just too many photos to view them all.
