1. Guthrie is a Republican

I met him in person in Toronto in 1993. I saw his movie in October 1969, Canadian Thanksgiving.

2. I didn't know this. I wonder what his reasoning is given his father's politics.

4. He told the New York Times Magazine that he is a Republican because,

"We had enough good Democrats..We needed a few more good Republicans...We needed a loyal opposition."

In 2016, he identified himself as an independent and said he was "equally suspicious of Democrats as I am of Republicans."

6. Thanks. Interesting coming from an old anti-war hippie.

3. His father must be turning over in his grave about that

When Bob Dylan was young,
he hitchhiked from Minnesota to New York to meet Woody Guthrie and played Guthrie
"A Song to Woody," which he'd written as a tribute.
Woody liked Dylan and invited him back.
Dylan stayed with the Guthrie family and became friends with thirteen-year-old Arlo Guthrie"
(Wikipedia)

Speaking of "turning over in his grave,"
After Bob Dylan "went from acoustic to electric" .angering many of his fans,
at the end of a European tour that culminated in a raucous confrontation between Dylan and his audience at the Manchester Free Trade hall in England on May 17, 1966, amongst all the boos, one member of the audience yelled out "Judas!"
Another angry Dylan fan yelled out "Woody Guthrie would be turning over in his grave."
He might have, except he wasn't actually dead.
(Woody Guthrie died the following year)

7. I read that he doesn't trust you know who* to have the best interest of USA in mind.

* this is the Lounge after all

Arlo has been a Democrat, then Republican (2008), and has said he was Independent in 2016.
