    Arlo Guthrie is one of my favorite folk singers. Alice's Restraunt is one of the funniest and truest songs i think i've ever heard. anyone else?

    I have always loved Arlo's music.
    Hell, I named my kid (now 13) after him.
    Sadly, I haven't gotten anything since Mystic Journey, as I really started trading, and didn't remember one could buy music! ;)
    I really enjoy a giftie my sweetie got for me off an auction site.
    the 1982 Arlo Guthrie Road Show, filmed in Austin, TX.
    Arlo, Pete Seeger, David Bromberg, Jerry Jeff Walker and Bonnie Raitt? oh yeah....
    He's a great guy, too. Interviewed him in college....he's coming soon, I should resurrect that for the paper.
    Anyone catch Sarah Lee Guthrie (daughter)?

    His daddy'd be proud. Arlo is one of a kind.

    I have 'Alice's Restaurant', and love it.
    He was great at Woodstock too...
    His dad........ he was the man. The grandaddy of protest songs.... hero to all my heroes.
    "What did they get you for?"
    "Litterin'" and they all moved away from me.
    "and causin a disturbance." and they all moved back.

    These are just my suggestions, others probably have better, but here's my two cents. :)

    Start out with his 1967 album "Alice's Restaurant", then move on to "Running Down the Road" (which has coming into los angeles). If you want to hear him live, try his second album, "Arlo". It's great! "Washington County" is also a great one, and so is "Hobo's Lullaby" if you're into country-folk.

    I don't know much about his more recent recordings, only his early stuff. But the above are great albums, so give those a try.

    wait, Nathan, we who love Arlo were the pinkos!
    as for good Arlo stuff, since he is all about the lyric, read the lyrics on www.arlo.net and see what ya like.
    I believe Mystic Journey is a good snapshot of Arlo beyond Alice's, and his live with Pete Seeger gives a good grounding in the combined folk sound.

    As for the "classic" Arlo, Darkest Hour always resonated for me....but as has been reported, I have these strange crushes in my past: John Denver, Arlo, Dylan, you get the drift
    also "Last to Leave."
    My son, again named for Arlo, although he needs to be not a hippe and cool, so he is Mick from his first name (Mikael Arlo) likes Oh, Mom...and sings it opointedly at me...
    Oh Mom
    words by Terry Hall music by Arlo Guthrie

    Mom's just a throw-back
    To the sixties generation
    All that junk like peace and love
    Is just an aggravation
    Ain't got no use for transcendental meditation
    Mom, you're universal love is such a drag

    *Well Mom said Dad
    He might've been a Virgo
    Or a head shop owner
    Or two freaks from San Francisco
    A washed out surfer with his body golden tanned
    Or some lead singer in a psychedelic band

    Feeding me granola
    And other flakey stuff
    You told me meat was hostile
    But I just can't get enough
    Being vegetarian just ain't quite my scene
    There's only so much you can do with soy beans
    Mom, your universal love is such a drag

    Mom keeps telling me
    About her days at Woodstock
    Half a million space-balls
    And all of them with their feet stuck
    Freaking out on acid and what Bob Dylan says
    I think she's tryin' to turn me into Joan Baez

    Oh Mom can't you tell me where your head's at
    I'm sick to death of hearing about
    Where you saw the Grateful Deads at
    Oh Mom, don't you know this is the eighties?
    Oh Mom, can't you relate to what the date is?

    Mom's just a throw-back
    To the sixties generation
    All that junk like peace and love
    Is just an aggravation
    Ain't got no use for transcendental meditation
    Mom, your universal love is such a drag

    *VERSE OMITTED BY ACCIDENT ON RECORD

    always funny for the kid (mine) who hung out with Bobby Weir. and admits in private he likes the GD.
    How old does he need to be to be OK with eclectic tastes...in public?
