THE SONG
"Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie from 1967 -All 18 minutes and 34 seconds
Why Alice's Restaurant
This song has had really special personal meaning to me from a very early as age my mothers name is ALICE. And well Alice - she just loved this song and made quite sure that every Thanksgiving or the next day after - we's surely wait to hear it come on the radio..
Check it out with the link below if you have been deprived and have never heard it..
To me its a really great song becuase
A. It tells a store in a very creative way
B. The story is mostly true - all of the major events of it at least.
C. The story was a very strong peace of Anti-War propaganda song attempting to stop the Vietnam War
D. There has never ever ever in the history of Christmas Songs - Actual classified as Christmas Music - been another song produced even remotely important to American Culture which empcompasses - Giving, Happiness, Holiday, Civil Rights, Community, Creativity and oh so much more..
Wow, I'd never heard this one before, it was quite the adventure. More like a folksy story, though the Alice's Restaurant ditty sure is catchy (not a bad way to get out of the draft haha). I was talking recently about how there don't seem to be many Thanksgiving songs, but I'll definitely have to put this on one the list for next year.
Yeah bud - YouTube it - it's really worth listening to -
