It's Thanksgiving...Time for "Alice's' Restaurant"

I'm not quite sure when the connection between the Arlo Guthrie song, "Alice's Restaurant" and the US Thanksgiving Holiday was first formed, but ever since I can remember, sometime in the morning of Thanksgiving, the local New York City Classic Rock (and other just plain Rock) radio stations take the time and place the song into their playlist.

While the song was written for a different generation back in 1966, the story of the song gets repeated from one rock generation to another and chances are it will be still be heard on some radio stations 30 years from now on Thanksgiving.

Maybe because the story told in Alice's Restaurant starts at Thanksgiving... :)
