On the Steve Goodman Memorial Concert Cd (alluded to in my previous post), Arlo Guthrie performs Steve's City of New Orleans which, as we know, was a hit for him in 1972. He talks about how he was playing a club in Chicago, and after the set, the manager said "There's someone here wants to talk to ya." He says he looked round the corner, and there was Steve, guitar in hand, and he said "I only want to play ya one song!" Arlo says "Most anywhere ya go, there's people ... MORE

Back in the stoned age, we used to hear all 18+ minutes of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" on the radio every Thanksgiving. What a strange cultural moment: Arlo, over an unchanging guitar figure, related the tale of a Thanksgiving dinner, its aftermath, and his subsequent encounter with the draft board. It made up one side of an album, got played a lot on FM radio, and got made into a film directed by Arthur Penn, who had just made "Bonnie & Clyde" and therefore was ab... MORE

This song was originally written by Chicago Singer/Songwritter Steve Goodman, who had could only get Arlo Guthrie to listen to it if he bought him a beer first. Arlo liked it and asked to record it, and it became a hit.
I don't know if there is a more wistful or sentimental song out there, but I would put this up there with the best of them.

I picked this song today, not only because I think it's one of Arlo's best songs, but it invokes a lot of emotion in these days of turmoil in the world, and of loved ones off in foreign lands, serving to protect us all (not just Americans of course).
So for all the troops in all the armed services from all the countries who are doing their duty to protect the civilised world from terror, we salute you.

I'm flying 2,329 miles for a concert. This occasion is chock-full of firsts. I've never _flown_ somewhere solely for a show. I've also never been to California, or seen the Pacific Ocean, or even rented a car. But most importantly, I've never seen Rage Against The Machine . And now I will be! Mwa-ha-ha!!! In honor of finalizing my travel arrangements, here's a song that will most definitely be on the playlist as I fly into Los Angeles... "Coming In To Los Angeles"... MORE

Apologies to all i may have actually scared. I figured that it ought to be fairly obvious that if i posted something on Monday and then agaon on Tuesday, i couldnt have been in jail long, nor for anything too serious. To be honest, i sorta felt like rattling some cages; got to get your amusement from such things where you can. The upshot is that, due to the fact that, when i paid a speeding fine in North Carolina something like eight years ago, the county sheriif's of... MORE

While many in the world celebrate the harvest with unique rituals, we in the US stuff a turkey and then stuff ourselves. Every year I'm reminded of THE classic Thanksgiving song - The Alice's Restaurant Massacre. extraordinarypoems posted up on it a while back right here on MOG. It looks like it helped her day :) Heed her advice and listen to it if you can. My copy has so many pops and hisses its unbelievable...but believe me, it will go round and round the turntable tom...

If you read my post from yesterday, you know that it was a shitty day, and I appreciate everyone's responses. I tried to post something back to each of you, but then I was interrupted. Today, so far, has been worse. My estranged friend showed up at work a little while ago and wouldn't leave even though I asked him to repeatedly, until I finally worked myself up into an anger fit and a sick stomach and demanded that he leave. Now I feel unwell and don't want to stay and... MORE

I'm watching the 20th anniversary of Farm Aid on INHD ... I'll watch any music that's hi-def and surround sound. Arlo Guthrie just sang "Alice's Restaurant." Kinda hurried his way through it, and who can blame him, but I was still taken aback at the idea of him still singing that song in 2005, even though he made an effort to tie it into current politics. And yet ... if the first Paul Butterfield Blues Band somehow reformed, live and dead, I'd expect them to play "East-Wes... MORE
