When I pull out “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” to listen to it this Thanksgiving — a tradition I share with many other aging hippie/boomers — the moment will be tinged with sadness.
I enjoyed your piece on Arlo and Alice. I would only add that there are sometimes concerts at the former church...I heard Jay Ungar and his wife perform up there. It was fun to see the place with pictures, tributes to Woody, etc.
Thanks for this wonderful Thanksgiving reading! And sooooo hoping that young people accustomed to different music find themselves enthralled by Arlo’s (and Alice’s) 18-minute anthem.
A special era, indeed in New Haven. In 1968 we had the Olive St. Recruiting Station. "See you @ Ft. Dix." 🇺🇸 And across the Green, the "Exit" Coffee House, in the basement of a church @ corner of College and Elm. Miss those days. ☕ 💕
