Jinkies louese I was scared for a minute there. Yup, delurking, I've read the comic for a while now and quite enjoy it. I realize that bad and unexpected things will start happening again anytime soon, but a glimmer of hope is here for Ms. S, my fav character. Whew. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.g ... rine?------------------

You wouldn't happen to have red hair and been in commercials as a young...girl?If so, wow.
If not, real sorry.
Oh, and about your sig. Just who is Arlo Guthrie. Since you're new I'll just tell you now that GUTH is the most mysterious and speculated upon of all the cast and any information on a possible namesake would be appreciated.------------------

You don't know who Arlo Guthrie is?!?!?!He's a musician, son of Woody Guthrie. If you are Napster-connected, find "Alice's Restaurant," his most famous song (it's a ling one) and the one she's quoting.For what he's up to lately: <A HREF="http://arlo.net/" TARGET=_blank>http://arlo.net/</A> ------------------

Arlo Guthrie -- the only radical hippie protest singer who had to admit he was just going into the family business... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">Also, I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice the Guth/Woody/Arlo connection.------------------

Red hair yes, comercials, nope. Thanks for playing though. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> And spot on one about Arlo, 18 minutes and 20 seconds of ballad is just about enough for anyone.-Tangerine?

My sister rented the movie once and we watched it. It's a good story too. Since littering was a felony offence in Arlo's hometown, and he pled guilty in court, it made him inelegible to be drafted for Vietnam. (He and his friends in fact cleaned up the site where they had littered and took all the garbage to a more proper place for disposal.)The Alice who ran/owned the restaurant was the wife of the leader of the commune Arlo was member of. So she was at the center of all the shenanigans Arlo was singing about.The movie also deals with the death of Arlo's father, Woody.And Joni Mitchell also sings.Hollywood doesn't dare make movies like this today.
