My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is how radio stations all over the US play "Alice's Restaurant" at noon. No matter if you're driving or cooking or playing with the little cousins or hiding out in a spare room, you can find a station playing this rambling 18-minute anti-war (and anti-littering!) song and know that tons of other people are listening along with you. And that's beautiful.

me, age 7, listening to Arlo Guthrie for the first time: one big pile of garbage IS better than two little piles! why are the cops punishing him he's right!!
me, age 30, listening to Arlo Guthrie: god he's still so real for this.

hey so, we sent your boyfriend down to a building in new york city - yeah, on whitehall street. we injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected him. he ended up on the group w bench because he had a criminal record for littering. yeah, no, the sergeant rejected him because he is a popular anti-vietnam war activist. we're sending his fingerprints off to washington. sorry
