Hey guys...
Today's song is Coming into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie.
Truely a great song. Not only musically, but the lyrics are great. I think this song captures a darker aspect of the City well and also of its energy and its distinct character.
Really love hearing Arlo. Heard it on the Woodstock movie (wish I coulda been there!), and fell in love with this song, though I don't really like folk music..

Coming into Los Angeles - Arlo Guthrie
Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens 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
There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
No, he couldn't 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
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
