So this bloke, to borrow the parlance of that great #American poet #ArloGuthrie, is the one who tells folks whether or not they are going to be consigned to the legendary "Group W bench"? ๐Ÿš”

This song is called "__________________", and it's about Alice. And the restaurant. But __________________ is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song. And that's why I called the song "__________________".โ€Ž

Good "Song": Alice's Restaurant Massacree This unlikely 1967 Arlo Guthrie classic has become a Thanksgiving ritual for American radio stations, many of which spin it on that day. Some play it over and over for several hours, if not all day โ€“ though seldom or never on any other. Yet everything about this track is anomalous. For starters, in a market that then insisted that all songs come in under threee minutes โ€“ and remains uncomfortable with four to this day โ€“ this one tops 18. The whole A-side of its album! It's also harshly critical of a particular American war, and conservatism in general, and despite what some would have you believe, that sort of thing has always been embargoed by American media. (Yes, even in the 60s.) And finally, of course, it's not a song at all; more like a long monologue with a chorus at both ends. (This art form is called "talking blues": a sort of redneck rap that gained mainstream appreciation in the 30s when Arlo's dad, of whom some have heard, scored a hit of his own with one.) In sum, it's a bit of a mystery how the Massacree met such wide success, or came to be so deeply associated with a quasi-religious holiday. Or that such a scathing assault on Cold War conventions still calls so many of the nation's angrily divided citizens to enjoy a good-natured laugh. (And it's had that magic from the beginning. I played this recording in my high school history classes to Reagan-era students who seized it with delight. There's just something about it. Discuss.) One thing is clear: this gem of American pop culture is a true Thanksgiving blessing, given the genius of the writing and performance and the welcome relief of whimsy on such a solemn day. Guthrie's text and tone evoke the spirit of the era โ€“ and the rollicking ideals of its young. Realism and optimism; hope and resolve; humour and candour, all in equal measure. I miss that. And them. For the rest, this story that Arlo tells in first person is fundamentally true, with allowance made for good storytelling. Alice really existed, she really had a restaurant, and it really wasn't called Alice's Restaurant. He and a friend really were arrested for an environmental offence on Thanksgiving Day. They really did go to court. He really was later called up for the draught. As for me, I don't know when I first heard it โ€“ early 70's, I'd guess; radio, no doubt โ€“ but it's been a favourite ever since. I loved Arlo's rural delivery, his youthful smartassery, his opposition to militarism and the Vietnam War, and his parody of military posturing. Above all I loved his trenchant wit. All of which reinforced my own burgeoning career as a wiseacre. Now friends, there's only one or two things that the adults in my life might've done in response to this and the first was that they could have risen to their feet cheering, which wasn't very likely and I didn't expect it. Anyway, here a half-century on, we're suddenly back in a place where singing a couple bars of _Alice's Restaurant_ and walking out may be a duty we must all again perform. And two decades of Zen practice, with its tales of eccentric japes in the coercive glare of authority, have done little to spoil my taste for it. So Happy Thanksgiving to my American brothers and sisters; peace and insight to all.
