“I Don’t Want A Pickle…”

by Ben Morton

I should explain the title so as not to throw you off from the get go. The more refined and worldly among us may recall the name Arlo Guthrie. A singer-songwriter that had some notoriety for being Woody Guthrie’s son and a few FM radio hits like the “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre” and of course, “The Motorcycle Song”. The opening line of which is: “I don’t wanna pickle, I just wanna ride my motorsickle.” Now, on with the show.
