That was my response to a message I received through Facebook this morning. It read:

“is this woodys son? im 28 yrs old i live in england, u might never get to read this but i listen to woody everyday man, he is the one person that did his thing without a second thought! and inspires me everyday when i look at his ’59 bound for glory record hanging on my wall, that picture of him on the front cover looking faded with age and woodys face with a look total determination! i need to get some of your music, ive heard a couple of your songs and you carry it in the blood! i do hiphop and i made a dedication to woody im gona have to send it to you oneday if this is the arlo guthrie?? peace and blessings….”thats about the biggest thing that man has ever done!!”

This bloke’s musical interests, as copied and pasted directly from his Facebook profile, are:

Underground Rap Man, Arlo Guthrie, Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, Julian Lennon, “GEORGE HARRISON”, Arlo Guthrie, Arlo and Woody Guthrie, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, And Arlo Guthrie, The Best of Arlo Guthrie, Coming Into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie, Coming Into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie, Alice’s Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie, Alice’s Restaurant Massacre – Arlo Guthrie, Last To Leave by Arlo Guthrie, Alice’s Restaurant Massacre by Arlo Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie/ Amazing Grace, Arlo Guthrie

So this guy is clearly a huge fan of Arlo Guthrie.

Here’s a recent photo of THE Arlo Guthrie:
