Folk icon Arlo Guthrie, 73, announced in a Oct. 23 Facebook post he is retiring from touring due to health challenges. What's Up! Associate Editor Jocelyn Murphy spoke with the singer/songwriter, known for his protest music and his humor, in September about his Walton Arts Center performance that was canceled in response to covid-19, and about his newly released single "Hard Times Come Again No More." Here are some excerpts from that conversation. (P.S. Please excuse the brief appearance by Jocelyn's cat meowing in the background. The joys of working from home!)
