I believe Woddie had a son named Arlo that performed at Woodstock. Am I right?

sure thing JS .....he did "Coming into Los Angeles (pickin` up a couple of geese)" at Woodstock........and next month comes the traditional Thanksgiving recital of Arlo`s "Alice's Restaurant Massacree"
"It was 51 (now 56) years ago, Thanksgiving in 1965, when an 18-year-old rising folk singer named Arlo Davy Guthrie drove up from Queens, N.Y., to Great Barrington to visit a friend named Alice Brock. While he was there, he did Alice and her husband, Ray, a favor. He took out their garbage. It would change his life. Guthrie and his buddy threw the garbage down a ditch where others often did the same thing. But the next day, Guthrie was arrested for littering, and that blip is what kept him from being drafted into the Vietnam War because he had an arrest record. It also became the narrative for a little ditty he wrote two years later that he called “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.”
"Comin' into Los Angeles....bringing in a couplea keys."
@jack-dodds sure sure......his once regal life has been reduced to playing a bit part in a running gag
And I always thought it was because one side of the V had more geese!
