Arlo Guthrie/Alice's Restaurant *

The pilgrims came here to be free. So, Thanksgiving is partly about freedom. Arlo had his freedom taken away on Thanksgiving in the story. That's what I get out of it. Plus it's a great acoustic guitar American folk tune that could have been played at Miles Standish's first Thanksgiving feast. All you need is a guitar!

love it. thanks arlo

I was born in '68, I grew up on this..the lesson: never let he man bring you down! A true classic :)

Whoever thought that Group W would end up in Washington in 2000 after too much "garbage up their nose" to start another war.

I just heard the original version of this song today for the first time ever today. It may be a bit before my generation, but what a good tune... :)

God Bless All!! What a tradition, I love to hear it every year, thanks to an old radio station in Dallas,Tx. KZEW...No jail time and no littering!! But lots of good food, thanks Arlo, :)

Love the tradition of listening to Arlo ..Alices Restaurant, thanks to a local Dallas radio station in the 80's. God Bless All, and no littering and dont go to jail!!

Maybe he got laid by Kay Ballard.

Thank you, and God  bless..

God bless Arlo Guthrie, for making us laugh at a time when many could only cry.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Peace!
