Here ya go, Radical Activist! Coming in from London from over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chicken flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs man, man

There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
Could he ever look much stranger
Walking in the hall with his things and all
Smiling, said he was the Lone Ranger

Coming into Los Angeles,
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs man, man

Hip woman walking on a moving floor
Tripping on the escalator
There's a man in the line, and she's blowing his mind
Thinking that he's already made her

Coming into Los Angeles,
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs man, man

Coming into Los Angeles,
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs man, man

Coming into Los Angeles,
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs man, man

By Arlo Guthrie.

4. . . . and the people who put this thing together are gonna take a bit
of a bath.

And there's a guy out there who had his hamburger stand burn down last night. And well, for those of you who still think capitalism isn't THAT weird, you might help him out and buy a few hamburgers.

7. ...guitar mike, please...guitar mike...
Sometimes, I feel like a motherless child.
Some...times I feel like a motherless child
Some...times I feel like a motherless child,
A long...way...from my home.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Singing freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom...

Freedom...freedom...freedom..freedom.

6. I saw Arlo live at Newport News Park in Virginia. It was this...
...intimate outdoor setting. A memorable day! He is awesome. I get wistful sometimes, wishing folk music would make a comeback. It is a bastion of liberalism!

8. Traditional music made a little comback
after O Brother Where Art Thou. But we've got this corporate radio industry that wants to take the politics out of it. We've even got Burger King bastardizing a song written by an IWW union organizer for their stupid commercial. Steve Earle can't even get on country radio anymore. Its sad.

10. couple of good folk stations
here in Boston, we have WUMB (www.wumb.org) ... folk is very big in the Boston area ...

and maybe the best folkie station in the country: www.folkAlley.com

as Cheryl Wheeler once said: "there are literally hundreds of dollars to be made in folk music."

11. I couldn't stand "I am a man of constant sorrow." That is ONLY...
...to be sung by the Stanley Brothers.
