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."
