Woody Guthrie was being hung Thursday at the state Capitol of Oklahoma. (!!!???!!!)

Oh… It’s a two column format, and down at the bottom of the first column is the first part of the sentence, which reads, in full:

A portrait of the Dust Bowl troubadour Woody Guthrie was being hung Thursday at the state Capitol of Oklahoma. Guthrie wrote hundreds of songs after leaving Okemah, Oklahoma, as a teenager, including the folk anthem, “This Land Is Your Land.” He is best known for speaking to the plight of displaced Americans during the 1930s with such songs as “Hard Travelin'” and “So Long, It’s Been Good to Know You.” His “Oklahoma Hills” is the official Oklahoma State Folk Song. Artists from Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen have called Guthrie a major influence on their work. His son, Arlo, was an important musical figure in the 1960s and 1970s with such songs as “Alice’s Restaurant,” the comedic saga made into a movie, and Steve Goodman’s “The City of New Orleans.” Guthrie died in 1967 in New York.”
