Inspired by one of Arlo Guthrie's songs, written by Venable Herndon and Penn, it shows the hippies aren't really making it work. Fun scenes involving dumping of rubbish and medical draft inspection, other episodes more melancholy, especially concerning junkie Michael McClanathan. Apart from M Emmet Walsh didn't recognise one member of the cast - Patricia Quinn good as Alice, with James Broderick, Pete Seeger, Tina Chen - Ok, did know Chen also, from Three Days of the Condor (this was her feature debut).
That's not the real Woody, who died in 1967. Arlo's hair's still long, only white; coincidentally he announced his retirement two days ago.
