Key West North is another way to look at it.

Yeah I like a lot of music from a lot of people whose politics I cannot stand. I suspect most are at the very least lefties, some are worse.
Life is too short to be without music.

I agree, I like the music. What they do when not singing isn't my concern. Queen, Judas Priest, Elton John. Get bent you would have missed much epic music.

A friend of mine and me went to Alice' restaurant a long time ago!Let's try to not make this political.
Alice Brock is dead.... I would ask the same question I suspect many of you would.. who the heck was she?
Well it seems back in the late 60's she had this restaurant and one Thanksgiving a young and up and coming folk singer and friend decided to come visit...
when they got to Alice's house she wasn't there .. .the house used to be a church and Alice and her husband lived upstairs and the lower floor had all this trash in it and the young guys decided to clean it up and take it to the dump. they didn't think ahead and the dump was closed... the rest of course is musical history.
Artist and Cook Alice Brock, Made Famous by a Song, Dies at 83 - The Provincetown Independent
Alice May Brock of Provincetown, made famous by Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 song “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree,” died on Nov. 21, 2024 at the Lily House hospice in Wellfleet. Her caregiver Viki […]provincetownindependent.org
I was there with my folks in the late 1950s. Nice place. Remember wading in the shallows when the tide ebbed. Ate my first Fish and Chips with malt vinegar there.
Another song I mentioned was Paradise by John Prine .... I was driving home from the grocery store back in the Summer of 2019 about two months after my heart attack and listening to that song about how you can't go home and literarily broke down crying like a baby.
"I'm sorry my son, you're too late in asking, Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away."

The idea of wearing out a memory. So poetic so powerful. What a wordsmith, man was an absolute treasure. RIP John.
AFAIK one of his last songs I think one of his bests.
The video is so powerful. About addiction, and loss. But the song never mentions addiction.

I believe that is because people whose politics you agree with are blocked by the media.
Me too, I try not to learn much about musicians I like so I can enjoy without thinking about how much of a libtard they are. Like actors. You see a character you like in a movie and want to believe that thye are like the character, and they are not. Sam Eliot, Tommy Lee Jones, and Costner come to mind
The title scared me for a minute, I thought Alice Cooper died...

I prefer when they just want to entertain. Once they start making political statements, I shut them out.
They are just dancing monkeys, then somehow they start to believe people care about their opinions. Then they start to look down on people who disagree with them.
The sad thing is some people DO care about their opinions

Tons of memories associated with that story, and the 60's era. Some good, some bad. But they're my memories.

I was under the impression he has been dead all along.
Nawh, He just looks that way. Ol' Vincent never was a very healthy guy. He nearly died as a youngster from paratenitis after a ruptured appendix. Weird thing about Alice is Grandfather and Father both ministers and He himself raised in church .. Then came back to faith late in life . I believe He is a good Dude and stays away from political opinions which is nice.
I was involved in a mediation about 20 years ago. We were preparing our exhibits when the judge came in. I told him these were the 27 8x10 color glossy photographs. The judge replied, "I met him."
Needless to say the mediation went well.
The question the song never anwered, the name of the retaurant, is answered in the movie where officer Obie plays himself. The song is based on actual events.
I like the song better than the movie.

That's why I dont watch Netflix anymore. I got tired of watching men fudge-pack each other.
The libtards have ruined a lot of entertainment for me.

We saw this movie at the local drive-in. Why I don't have a clue.
When Arthur Penn, the director of Bonnie and Clyde, heard the Thanksgiving littering story from Alice's father, he decided to make a movie about it. On the day Alice and Ray's wedding scene was shot for the film, their divorce was finalized.
The movie was released in 1969, the same year The Alice's Restaurant Cookbook was published; the film outraged Alice because of how it misrepresented her, and Arlo walked out of the premiere after 20 minutes for similar reasons.
