Arlo Guthrie (Woody Guthrie's son) about 1967
It talks about adventures getting rid of half a ton of garbage, being
caught ("8 x 10 gloosy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on
the back"), and getting out of the draft for having been convicted. ("and
all of the father strabbers and mother rapers moved down to the other end
of the bench")
Woody Guthrie's work was more about the labor struggle in the early 20th
century USA.
