On Thanksgiving Day in 1965, two young guests visiting Alice Brock and her husband, Ray, repaid the hospitality by helping clean up an old church that the couple had converted into their home in western Massachusetts.

"It's a lot of fun," Alice Brock was quoted as saying of Arlo Guthrie's 1967 album. According to the obit, Brock, who died Nov. 21, saw in the song "a message of all the right things: of hope and music."

Almost time for the traditional annual playing of Alice's Restaurant on T-Day.

Had the good fortune to stop in at the "Alice's Restaurant" in Stockbridge during a road trip from Wisconsin to Boston (in 1972?).

Thanx for all the good vibes and memories, Alice.

RIP

For over a half century, they've played that song over and over and over again on radio stations all over the country during Thanksgiving-time yet it seems that the message still hasn't really sunk into the average American's thick skull. We continue to support all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly looking people and give billions in weapons to mother rapers and father stabbers (and even father rapers) and jump up and down en-masse like raging apes yelling "KILL! KILL! KILL! whenever some geostrategic power-grab is exposed or doesn't go our way.

"the message still hasn't really sunk into the average American's thick skull"

Sure. They got the message.

Make sure that when you plan to dump your garbage on the side of the road to take out any incriminating evidence first.
