Quoting: PresidentElectHalfPastMidnight A Brief History of “Alice’s Restaurant” The Arlo Guthrie classic starts off retelling the true story of what happened more than 50 years ago. “Alice’s Restaurant,” Arlo Guthrie’s beloved musical ode to garbage, small town policing, and military conscription, celebrates many anniversaries. The song – its full name is “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” – has its conception on Thanksgiving Day, 1965, when Guthrie, then 18, and friend Rick Robbins, 19, were clearing out the Stockbridge, Massachusetts, home of Alice and Ray Brock.... [link to www.smithsonianmag.com (secure)] [link to youtu.be (secure)] I met Arlo back in the mid 90's in nashville at my uncles house.My uncle was a guitarist, songwriter as well as a studio engineer. I was young & had only briefly heard the song. He played it on acoustic guitar for me & my wife. Man, only if we had cell phones with video back then. I would ve captured a rare occurrence. The day the governments admit Ufo's,the end is near. |
