Under another name I call Arlo Guthrie a national treasure. I still think so. To me his sarcasm as some call this, lacks the anger some people have so strongly that any humor is lost when they speak. I like Jimmy Buffet but Arlo is funnier to me. Arlo sarcasm no more, just having fun. Nobody's hurt. Arlo 💖 genuine American.

I fell in love with Arlo after seeing him in his movie and he turned down the groupie who was offering herself after a show. I clearly remember the scene where he turns her down, she had a cold and was sniffling. She asked him why he turned her down, he let her down easy, saying, "I just don't want to catch your cold." I was around 10 years old but I remember thinking that Arlo is the only man on the planet who would turn down a groupie. It was in his movie but it felt very real. I think the scene was mostly improvised I fell hard and never fell out. ❤❤❤

Woody came to the Pacific Northwest and wrote some songs about the dams being built on the Columbia River. So, Arlo used to come to Portland and play some of the small theaters. I enjoyed them.

Did "The Hoove", J. Edgar, The Head, REALLY wear dresses? Who started that rumor. Wasn't Arlo. Imagine wasting taxpayers money, harassing a sweetheart like Arlo Guthrie, son of a true hero, Woody. Dumb or what? Love you Arlo. Your picture, with Alice, sits on my kitchen window sill, above the sink under crystal sunflowers and wind chimes...Yes, I'm a hippie and proud of it! Namaste World, BE NICE TO EACH OTHER TODAY, TONIGHT...

So, at Newport, I think it was '67, or whenever the year Arlo introduced "Alice's Restaurant", after a workshop, he was being interviewed by a German magazine. And when he was done, all 18 years of me walked up, and he looked at me me, and I said "So, what are you gonna do?", and Arlos said "I don't know". Seven or so years later I met Jackie in KC, Kansas, and promised to sent Arlo an autoharp. It took forty years, but finally did it. He wrote back and said it was hung up in his garden, up there in Washington County.

Arlo Guthrie was brilliant and lived in difficult times, times with a lot of change, but there were a lot of questionable ideas from that era from both sides. Police guys mess with peace guys because too many peace guys are not as peaceful as they claim. 'Peaceful' occupation, even in protest, is still occupation. Rule by a calm mob is just as much mob rule as rule by an angry mob and not all protesters stay calm. Yes, the government does sometimes get out of line and yes, the Vietnam War in particular was very questionable, however society having rules and enforcement of those rules is not in and of itself automatically wrong. Besides, the US already had socialist systems in place in the 60's (welfare systems, old age security, public education, etc) and on the other side, Santa knows when you are sleeping, knows when you're awake. Santa monitors far more stringently than the FBI ;)

Arlo's comedic talents have always been grossly under-estimated. This routine has stuck with me for almost 50 years. I've referred to "the last guy" and "they aren't really your friends, are they?" for almost 50 years.

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.”-PROVERBS 3:5. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. “Openly confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may get healed.” (James 5:16) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. “In my flesh, there dwells nothing good.” (Romans 7:18) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. “If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift.”-Matt. 5:23, 24. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs. Jesus said to him: “Get up! Pick up your mat* and walk.”+ 9 And the man immediately got well, and he picked up his mat* and began to walk. Bill W. Quotes this one in the big book ^^^ Jesus says, 'no one comes to the Father except through me.' (If you are rationalising, you are doing something wrong - mine) Jehovah is God, may He pour His Holy Spirit out upon us. Jesus Christ is Lord, Saviour and King. Maybe I'll stick around A.A. in case I can help someone else. The teachers shall be judged more harshly than the students. Jehovah has the final say. P.S. You might need a bigger banner, I'm not joking, I am in earnest. The scripture should go above the steps
