LEE Because they couldn't find a dump open in Great Barrington, two youths threw a load of refuse down a Stockbridge hillside on Thanksgiving Day.

Arlo gave rather conservative answers. You could see the surprise on the reporter’s face.
This Thanksgiving incident is making “A friend of mine” a new kind of folk hero, in certain circles. Perhaps a 20-minute rambling song is in order here!

Sigh, 50 years.
That brought back some memories!
I know how you feel. I'm looking at 60 years "young" and I'm forgeting to sigh!
Funny movie. Included Joni Mitchell’s “Song for Aging Children.” What a beautiful song.
Why (s)he's no fun, (s)he fell right over!
Thats just a conspiracy theory.
No!! Put down that pickle!!
