last time i saw Arlo play was at a concert hall up here... not sure of the year, but it was quite a few years ago. about 4 or 5 songs into the first set, (quite unexpectedly) Pete Seeger wandered in and plunked himself down on the stage and the two of them played the rest of the concert together. very mellow...and magical. ~croc

Last September, producer Cate Friesen prepared a documentary for The Sunday Edition about 60's icon, Arlo Guthrie. The folk singer is best know for two things. One, as the son of legendary American folk poet Woody Guthrie, whose music defined the depression. And secondly as the author of the anti war anthem Alice's Restaurant, which made him a musical spokesperson for his own generation. What people don't know about Arlo is that he had a spiritual crisis in the '80's, and his search for meaning in his life led him right back to the little church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Now the building is called The Guthrie Center and that's where Cate Friesen went to find out how a guitar slinging hippie icon became the founder of an interfaith church in rural New England. Here is her documentary, You Can Get Anything You Want - Arlo Guthrie's New Religion: i listened to a tape of that documentary last sunday - it was fantastic. i wish i had taped it so i could refer to what he said when i need inspiration, but alas, i didn't. however i do remember he said something like this: 'this is for all your canadian listeners. tell them that our secret attitude here is just to say 'so what.' if things don't go your way - say, so what. if life hasn't turned out the way you expected, say, so what. he's a pretty awesome dude.
