yes he wrote the ballad of the city of new orleans.arlo is woody guthries son.woody wrote this land is your land and many more.i saw arlo in concert with his daughter,sarah,his son and son in law were there too.
arlo grew up listening to led belly,pete seeger and alot of other big timers who were friends with woody.
he also shares my distaste for dylan.
after the show he ALWAYS signs autographs.i count myself lucky to have saw,met and talked to this hippy icon....
