I expect most people today are more familiar with his son Arlo (Woodstock ’69)
One of my favourite Arlo Guthrie songs is Alice’s Restaurant – a protest against the Vietnam War draft. The song points out that any American citizen who was convicted of a crime, no matter how minor (in his case, it was littering), could avoid being conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War.
I just love his guitar picking style!
