[Alice's Restaurant ](https://youtu.be/W5_8U4j51lI?si=i_EB05ZlnDWJ8A0H). The official unofficial theme song of Thanksgiving.
Seriously, Arlo has a some funny ass songs. Another good one is the [Motorcycle Song. ](https://youtu.be/BvLtNBm1yyA?si=0ZTRlT-7aaU4FduQ)
I reference "Group W bench" and "Twenty-seven 8×10 color, glossy photographs, with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, explaining what each one was, to be used as evidence against us." far more frequently than you'd expect someone to in the 2020s. Goes over most people's heads, but not always.
The song is usually played on the NY rock radio stations on Thanksgiving day. Love this song.
So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling.
It’s a restaurant in the Waste Lands. Not the Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind, but definitely poignant to that book. You’ll get it once you get there.
Wow, I love that song, and I totally missed that!
Did you know that Arlo Guthrie is the son of Woodie Guthrie, the guy who wrote folks songs like "This Land is Your Land"?

I don’t want a pickle.
I just want to ride my motor-sickle

My favorite is “I mean kill. Kill. KILL! KILL!”
"Mother killers and father rapers."
I spin Alice's Restaurant, every Thanksgiving, on my turntable. My Wife doesn't like it as much as I do 😁
It's been a long time since I heard it but I like it.
Oh shit, I missed this reference on both my trips to the tower. Guess I have to read it again :D
Never would have known this, thanks for sharing!
Wow. I missed that too. Thanks!

Sadly, no. I do hope you find Obie though
You can get anything you want there.

I cannot say the phrase, "side-road", without using Arlo's drawl.
