  • The sentiment in this beautiful, classic piece also expresses the life and spirit of the Seeger and Guthrie families as well as people like Harry Chapin and Joan Baez! May this spirit never die, and let us pray that nothing akin to the song's ending ever happens on or near our shores. We must all remain vigilant.

  • I just found this...I have tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Everyone should own Amigo.

  • La armonía y la poesía entrañablemente hermanadas. Abrazos para todxs.

  • Un gringo menos despistado que el promedio

  • Pinochet's evil did visit our shores. His assasins murdered an exiled diplomat and former ambassador, Orlando Letelier and his American co-worker Ronni Moffit with a car bomb in Washington D.C. on Sept. 21, 1976. Jara had been killed three years earlier...Sept. 15, 1973. This was the first act of terrorism on U.S. soil but because of the U.S.' attachment to the Chilean government it was downplayed and isn't a history lesson today. It should be!

  • Adrian Mitchell's was a great voice for freedom and justice. Thank ye Mr Guthrie for putting his words to music in memory of another champion of decency.

  • Arlo has been one of my all-time favourites for about 30 years. Glad I saw him live in Germany some time in the late 80s.

  • It wasn't nice of the US government to support Pinochet's military coup in Chile in 1973
