I discovered that most of the people in my office have no idea who Arlo Guthrie is, and when I sang the chorus of Alice’s Restaurant, looked blank.
I’m not a huge Arlo Guthrie fan or anything, but dang. Woodie Guthrie? Don’t make me laugh…now is not the time to be singing This land is your land…
A friend of mine used “Alice’s Restaurant” as his humorous interp speech in high school. Loads of fun …
I use “shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction” pretty regularly. And I sing the motorcycle/pickle song to my boys. They think I’m stranger than a snake’s suspenders.
Philistenes.
I mean, that is unfathamable to me.
Yeah, Like Virg I use “Shovels and rakes and other implements of destraction” and “twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one”, “”You’re our boy” and references to the “Group W” Bench fairly regularly.
