![]() We are treated to the bittersweet yet somewhat amusingly performed classic "Please Don't Talk about Me When I'm Gone" sung by Arlo. There's also the beautiful love song sung by Pete, "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," and the song "Circles" about the twists and turns of life. However, there's more than just social commentary and opinions here. We hear songs about the "raggedy raggedy" workers who need empowerment in the form of a union to stay alive, and there's a great song titled "I'm Changing My Name to Chrysler" sung by Arlo to demonstrate how fat corporate America gets much more social welfare in the form of government bail-outs than the poor ever will.Īrlo's sarcasm of the necessity for money for impoverished people to merely exist is evident in his social commentary song "Do Re Mi." (Arlo uses "do" as a synonym for money.) Arlo also dreams of a world where guns disintegrate and flowers grow the crowd becomes ecstatic. The songs on the resulting two-CD set are mostly folk music about the working class and the everyday common man. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rambles.NET: Arlo Guthrie & Pete Seeger, Precious Friend Arlo Guthrie & Pete Seeger,Īrlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger teamed up in the summer of 1981 to give a blessed crowd an incredible opportunity to enjoy a superb outdoor concert performance. ![]()
