My dad had Huntington's very misunderstood back in the day
Lovely interview. Nora & Arlo share the same hair style.🙃.. I got to see Arlo at the Blues Festival in Ottawa, ON, Canada in the 90s. Both Woody's and Arlo's music always makes me feel good... thought provoking at times... comforting at others...I also remember seeing Arlo's paintings which were exceptional.
I am so glad to meet you, Nora! Thank you for sharing this and would love to hear more about your own life ❤️🕊️
Amy is a gem interviewer. all the right questions to understand the events. all untold history.
Arlo looks like he has moobs.
Amazing guy ;sweet daughter for explaining the situation ,,, love to read his book , he’s obviously an icon ❤ Always loved his music and His sons music 🎵
He’d be thrown out to the streets in todays america. Right Ronald Reagan?
I grew up 2 miles away from Greystone. It had beautiful buildings and grounds. We used to play in the fields as kids. Whenever I go back home to visit, I always take a ride to where it stood and reminisce about it. it's a real shame they knocked it down.
We used to have hospitals, specifically, for mental patients. Now they are homeless in jails and prisons. We have lost our humanity
Oh, this is quite recent. Nice!
Not much has changed except that the doctors are just crap now, they do NOTHING to help and or gain progress they just hand out tons pills and toss people out or force them on I'll prepared family and physically and emotionally wear the family down until they fall ill from stress as the system gobbles up $$$$.
This fine lady, Nora, once replied to a fan letter I had written around forty years ago to her, asking about her late father. I was just so shocked and delighted that she had bothered to respond to my wee letter, out od hundreds that she must get every week. It was a beautiful letter and so warm and open. I have always thought about her every time I listen to her father, or some other folk music from back then, and I just wanted her to know that even after all these years, Nora, there is still a grateful fan of yours still here in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I wish you rainbows, Nora.
She’s a real looker.
Why did they put him in a psych hospital when he wasn't mentally ill ? he had Huntington's chorea.... which is now called Huntington's disease
Thank you so very much Nora!
Oh how sad the amount of ignorance non medical people possess regarding people in general public. What is scary is that some of them hold public office overseeing citizens. (I work in the medical field)
The live-on-stage radio program I used to attend every Sunday night at Annabelle Taylor Hall in Ithaca, NY was called "Bound For Glory". Woody set the bar for the folk music folk. 🎶❤
If Pete Seeger and Woody were still alivewe wouldnt have t rump in office
It no doubt Was a fortress/castle before it was a hospital.
Imagine! suffering from Huntington's and imprisoned in a mental hospital for five years....of COURSE his condition got worse. Rest in peace, Woody, young man.
The fact is society at large is Bat Shit Crazy! Wouldn't you think the psyc ward would have done a check on him his photo or ss or something to begin with? Damn shrinks crazier than anyone else..
Makes me so sad
I was so very influenced by music as a youth, like most people .
Now years later finding out that the rock roll and drug culture was Initiated by the government. Loved arlo Guthrie's Alice's restaurant.
Why the hell was even in the hospital when he could’ve been taken care of at home?
He liked to hit the road.
Yes he could not be contained at home. Later he became very difficult to deal with at times.
It is so sad that people don’t have the mental health that they used to now they just don’t care and let people go off to be homeless and no help at all-
Go figure, a lefty in the nut house
That was his first damn mistake going to that s*** hole New Jersey 🤮🤣😳
So wonderful the musical talent was passed on to Arlo.
IT'S BRIAN MAY!
I'm confused; why didn't his family take him home-out of the hospital?
Why is his medical history being openly discussed? No one should be allowed to publish this.
The children's unit was a hellhole of violence and sexual abuse.
Woody was taken to Greystone in 1956. Nora would have been 6 years old. Sources say that Marjorie and children visited him every Sunday. He passed away in 1967.
Is that Brian May's hair she's stolen? 😂
This interview makes me sad. What right did anyone have to keep him in a psychiatric ward or in any institution? And his daughter's sitting there laughing? Sensitive, real sensitive.
Bob likes em younger now
Woody was an absolute legend, as I am sure you already know.
Arlo is a many faceted treasure. I appreciate that he clearly articulates his memories of how such diseases were treated at this time as well as sharing his family’s story. So interesting and valuable.
Interesting Insight from the lovely Arlo but YES, you should have left the image on Arlo or just included vintage photos. And I'm also so glad to see Arlo looking so well after what he personally went through. Love him.
Most leftists need a stay😅😅😅
LOOKS just like him
❤❤❤❤❤

Jahanara, Do you know if there was a memorial for Tom Law? We were good friends before “long hair”. His Columbia days.
Psychiatric care today still misdiagnoses treatable illnesses. Lyme and the co-infection Bartonella being a being a huge population of maltreatment.
A few years ago a guy was seen walking around Asbury Park New Jersey, he was dischevaled very scruffy looking, he wasn't causing any problems but some residents became concerned that he might be casing the area looking to rob a house or something, the police were called who stopped the man and questioned him, they asked his name and he replied Bob Zimmerman, it turned out to be Bob Dylan, now these were young cops and who of course never heard of him, he produced identification and that was it, he possibly was performing at the stone pony but I'm not sure, they said he would just go for walks wherever he was performing and that it was totally normal for him, if he didn't have ID who knows where he might have ended up.
Memories are worthless unless they are heartfelt. ❤
Love Arlo.. His work is Brilliant...❤
I'm struck by Arlo's description of the smell in Greystone. More than struck. I'm shaking a little as I write this. My mother suffered from misdiagnosed bi-polar disorder in the forties and fifties when I was a child. She was hospitalized every couple years. When she came home there was a smell clinging to her. It was dreadful to me. Decades later, she told me that they had given her paraldehyde mixed with grape juice - and that was the smell. I wonder if that is part of what Arlo talks about. Arlo, thank you for your honesty. It always helps to know I wasn't the only child going through that kind of eerie fear.
I had to look it up, but I have a lot of aldehyde receptors (ie, I experience cilantro as smelling like stink bug or fermented vegetation; not everybody has those receptors, and consequently can enjoy Mexican food;) and I am familiar with the faint rot smell of many aldehydes. Google says it resembles the smell of vinegar, and vinegar in grape juice is somewhat horrific to think about. 💙
