R.I.P. Alice

[lihpster]

R.I.P. to Alice Brock. You might not have known her, but you knew of her. She was the Alice you couldn't get, and now never will get, at Alice's Restaurant. Story here: Alice Brock, who helped inspire Arlo Guthrie’s classic ‘Alice’s Restaurant,’ dies at 83 | CNN

I guess I can no longer get anything I want.

The 40 year anniversary version of the song really brought home how much times have changed from the 60's.

That was some song. Classic. RIP my dear.

As a life long hard core kinda guy and military veteran it's funny but Arlo and Alice have been some of my favorites for many years. My kids grew up knowing them too!

P.S.-My labrador Retriever's name is Arlo

RIP - I remember the first time I heard the long version on an album my cousin had. Funny stuff and yes it was a different world at that time. I was 7

We listen to the song every Thanksgiving.

I believe the local Rock station plays it at noon every Thanksgiving too.

It's a tradition.

Yes. sir....

"Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

BTW Is this FIFTY SEVENyears old now?


SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!

If you're on Facebook, you can follow Arlo through his Rising Son Records page. He posts there frequently from his home in Massachusetts, and it turns out he's as good a wordsmith and photographer as he is a singer and songwriter. He has a gentle, easygoing outlook on life, and some terrific images and stories to share...always a pleasure to read...

"Son, have you ever been arrested?"

How many small town cops were nicknamed " Officer Obie" because of this great classic song?
