Woody Guthrie does "The Grapes of Wrath" in less than seven minutes.... →[More:]...in his dust bowl ballads Tom Joad Part 1 and Tom Joad Part 2, Guthrie condenses Steinbecks 400+ page epic novel into 6 minutes, 54 seconds of poetry.

Bonus Track: Plane Wreck at Los Gatos

I'm posting this because I can, and because I just read this Guthrie biography and really enjoyed it.

I think you can do it in substantially less than seven minutes.
