A Silver Celebration of Arlo and Janis, Day 5

By Jimmy Johnson

The Silver Celebration of Arlo and Janis finally is winding down. It’s been a pleasure digging through the old material yet again to share with you, and I want to thank you for visiting arloandjanis.com. I hope you will continue. I also want to thank you for all the kind words. I know you think I simply filter the negative comments, but that isn’t true. I  haven’t received any, and I’ll admit I’m dumbfounded. This is the Internet, after all. I’m beginning to believe you; I’m beginning to believe this really is a very special online community.

 I honestly don’t think I’ll be here 25 years hence. Let’s just say the odds are long against it, and that’s a sobering thought, because the past 25 have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s been a privilege to draw Arlo & Janis for a living, while those around me have been forced into real jobs. The experience has afforded me freedoms and privileges few in this world ever know. I hope it can go on for a while longer. I think it will. I wish it could go on forever.
