Thread Name: Arlo Guthrie - worth seeing these days?
Subject: RE: Arlo Guthrie - worth seeing these days?
Hmmm. I'd say Arlo's shows are 1/3 singing, and 2/3 storytelling, and 100% enjoyable. The audiences are fascinating to watch, too. I'd often wondered where all those strange hippies from the 60's went. Well, they all show up for Arlo concerts. Maybe they go back into hibernation when the concert's over.

Whatever the case, an Arlo concert is always an absolute pleasure.

And darn funny, too. Arlo may be 75% stand-up comic and 25% folksinger.
