Musical Interlude: All the news about deportations....and the callous attitude toward the safety of those being deported...brought this song to mind. The lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie, and set to music by Martin Hoffman. It's about a real-life disaster in 1980; look up the Los Gatos crash and you'll read the horrid details.

"Deportee (Plane Crash at Los Gatos)," performed by Arlo Guthrie and Hoyt Axton.

Remembering Alice Brock!

I have three favourite U.S. Thanksgiving traditions. First, is the WKRP Thanksgiving episode, the second is Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the third is this Arlo Guthrie masterpiece.

“And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.”

Ah, my favorite Thanksgiving music. Thank you to whatever DJ managed to get this on the radio when I was a kid, despite it killing commercial time (18:15 long!)

RIP Alice Brock, of "Alice's Restaurant" fame.

TIL: Alice helped Arlo Guthrie write the first part of the song. The restaurant of the song, the Back Room, was in Massachusetts, but was closed by the time the song became famous. She was also a librarian and an author.

For the kids who don't want to spend 20 minutes listening to the whole story: in between the catchy chorus about how you can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant, Arlo sing-talks a long story. It starts with a big dinner at Alice's. Then Arlo and his pal take some trash to the dump, but the dump is closed, so they leave the trash in a ravine. Then they get arrested for littering and Alice bails them out. THEN, later on, Arlo gets called for the Vietnam draft, but since he has this criminal conviction for littering he is not, as the song puts it, "moral enough join the Army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein’ a litterbug." Hence why it became an anti-war anthem.
