A Thanksgiving Tale from Alice’s Restaurant

He said, “Kid….”

A hilarious1 annual sing-along, plus:

  • The original Alice on improvisation and Cream of Salt & Pepper Soup on This I Believe: Making It Up As I Go Along.
  • Arlo Guthrie on what really happened, and how the story grew. “There were people singing this song together who, politically, had nothing in common and probably wouldn’t have talked to each other…. It’s just the story of a little guy against a big world. It’s not so much an anti-war song as a song against stupidity…”
  1. Parental guidance suggested. As always. 🙂 ↩
