YOU CAN GET ANYTHING YOU WANT…JUST DON’T LITTER
…also in honor of Thanksgiving, here’s a link to the complete words for Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice Restaurant Massacree,” courtesy of arlo.net:

Guthrie’s 18 1/2-minute talking-blues classic has become a Thanksgiving day standard. It also inspired the full-length feature film Alice’s Restaurant, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Guthrie himself, which hit screens in 1969.
I examine Alice’s Restaurant, Easy Rider, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice in the chapter “Shaking the Cage” from 1969: The Year Everything Changed.
