Alice’s Restaurant. It’s now a Thanksgiving classic, and admittedly something of an odd one. Recorded in 1967, the 18+ minute counterculture song recounts Arlo Guthrie’s real encounter with the law, starting on Thanksgiving Day 1965. And it builds steadily into a satirical protest against the Vietnam War draft. We have featured Guthrie’s classic during past years. But, for this Thanksgiving, we give you the illustrated version. Part 1 is above; and Part 2 below. Happy Thanksgiving to all who will celebrate today.
