Remember Alice?

One of the great antiwar protest songs was Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" (1967). When I was in Junior High School our music teacher played this long song for us in its entirety, but I don't know whether today's students ever get to hear it. The tune is a good one and the song delivers its antiwar message in a roundabout manner. It's always worth a listen around Thanksgiving.

Note: That's hardly all I have to say about Thanksgiving!
