"I Am Changing My Name To Chrysler" (Live) Arlo Guthrie

Happy 78th Birthday Arlo! July 10th.

This anthem was written by Tom Paxton, the master of protest songs.
He wrote it shortly after the government bailed Chrysler out in 1979. By 2008 and following the financial crash Arlo changed the words slightly to be current.

Perhaps the next artist can change it again to Elon.
