Steven’s Notebook

And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.

That’s right, yesterday’s Song Lyric of the Week was from none other than Arlo Guthrie’s lengthy anti-war song Alice’s Restaurant Massacree. [Wikipedia entry]

Why that song? That’s simple, it’s because…

… it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant

This week’s song lyric was first guessed by none other than my cousin, a musician, sometime radio D.J. and all-round great guy, Brennan, who not only knew what the song was but had heard it “just before 5 A.M. Mountain Time, on Sirius radio’s
Coffeehouse.” Good job!
