Speaking at a meeting of organized labor last week in Chicago I found myself repeating (and attributing) Arlo’s discourse that concludes with the assertion that in troubled times we don’t have to do much to make a positive contribution. Afterwards, a man came up to me and told me that Arlo had changed his life. It seems a couple of years ago he was at a show where Arlo said “if just one person starts playing the banjo, this evening will be a success”. Well this guy went out the next day and bought himself and banjo and began teaching himself to play it. I thought in these troubled times Arlo might enjoy knowing that he changed a life with just 14 words.

That is a neat story. I remember someone writing on here once that they & their brother had been to one of the Arlo shows I'd been to & the brother had a drinking problem. But the brother after going to the show decided to change his life & hadn't drank since. Arlo does change lives...

This Brother you're reffering to was probably horrified by the vision of chicken flying around the plane.

.....(I remember seeing similar stuff, back in my drinking days).
