"Not Running for Anything"

Before he gets to Boston and the Celebrity Series, Arlo Guthrie is in Kansas. He recently spoke with Sophia Maines of Lawrence.com:

"'I didn’t want to become a trained seal routine where you pay your money because you know what he’s going to do,' Guthrie says, chuckling. 'I decided that we didn’t want to be that famous. We wanted to have fun, and we wanted to play what was immediate on our minds.'"

"Guthrie brings out the song [Alice's Restaurant] on anniversaries now. After this tour, he’ll take it off the set list and likely won’t play it again until 2016."

Here is the full text of the article.

In honor of the song's 40th anniversary, he'll be playing Alice's Restaurant tomorrow night at Symphony Hall at 8 o'clock. Tickets are still available...
