57 years on, the cast of Arlo Guthrie's 'Alice's Restaurant Massacree' shares a Thanksgiving | Local News | berkshireeagle.com Three old friends united by a memory of a famous misadventure gathered for their first shared Thanksgiving since 1965. That's when a young Arlo Guthrie, right, joined with his fellow teen Rick Robbins, center, to help haul trash for Alice Brock, left. That would-be dump run was made famous in Guthrie's 1967 song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree."
How the years have passed.... My mom babysat Arlo when she was around 20 in Brooklyn. He looks good for his age.
Mel? Nooooo, you're thinking of the sitcom "Alice" where Alice was a waitress at Mel's Diner. This is totally different as it is a folk rock song written and performed by Woody Guthrie's son Arlo. You should know the line "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant (except'in Alice)"
