Paul Pepper: Singer Larry Brown, "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" (Performance)

Larry Brown

Today is Presidents' Day! Since no one has yet written a classic folk song about our current leader, singer LARRY BROWN takes a different approach: the executive order, a power given to all presidents to implement policy changes at-will. One such policy often tackled by executive order is immigration, specifically at the Mexican border; it's on that topic that Larry tells the story behind (and then performs) Woody Guthrie's song 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)' at [4:08]. February 15, 2021
