Arlo Guthrie: 'Alice' is Back on the Menu

'ALICE'S RESTAURANT' is back on the menu. First released in 1967 as the title track of Arlo Guthrie's debut album, the 18-minute talking blues narrative became a counterculture touchstone, and along with 'In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida', redefined what was played on radio. Guthrie, then 20, took audiences by surprise with his sly, sarcastic delivery of a tale concerning Thanksgiving, garbage and draft boards.
