Song Of The Day – “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” by Arlo Guthrie from the album “Alice’s Restaurant” It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without Arlo’s classic 1967 shaggy dog story of a bunch of hippies doin’ their best to lend a hand to a friend by disposing some garbage on Thanksgiving. It’s a true story about a true Alice…in fact, my Aunt’s sister was good friends with the real Alice back in the day! What starts off as a silly story about disposing garbage turns comically serious when it gets around to the draft. I found this neat little illustrated video of the original album version in two parts. Enjoy and have a safe, happy and thankful Thanksgiving!
