Alice’s Restaurant on WCSX
Alice’s Restaurant on WCSX
The Thanksgiving tradition “Alice’s Restaurant” by Arlo Guthrie will be airing today at 10am and again at 4pm on WCSX 94.7. This morning I came across this website www.alicesrestaurant.com yes there’s an actual Alice’s Restaurant. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and may it be a safe one for all.

It was a whole album side, 18 1/2 minute track from the Vietnam War Era, about Arlo Guthrie getting arrested for illegal dumping on Thanksgiving Day, which alongside murderers and rapists, made him ineligible for the draft, which he found highly ironic. DJs on "Underground" format stations used to put it on when they wanted to goof off, or whatever.

Re: Alice’s Restaurant on WCSX
There are MANY Alice's Restaurants, at least one in Northern Michigan. They are not a chain to my knowledge.

I saw Arlo in 2018. He's awesome in so many ways.

Re: Alice’s Restaurant on WCSX
Back in the Summer of 1979, 96 WHNN in Saginaw, MI (when it was a hard rock station), they played the complete album version of that during "Comic Section" with former DJ J.P. DeSantis (which was an hour from 9:30 till 10:30 Sunday nights till around the Spring of 1980 & was cancelled). Also W106 FM (WIOG) in Saginaw, MI also on Sunday nights at 10:00, they had "Comedy Hour" show BUT they took the dirty language out while 96 WHNN did NOT!!! Back on Sunday, August 26, 1979, W106 played the final swan song of the "Best Of Comedy Hour" BECAUSE W106 (instead of an Album Rock station), WIOG (known as "ROCK 106") took over on Tuesday morning, August 28, 1979 & became a Top 40 hit station (with the reel to reel master tape with the same male DJ who named the songs while it was finished).

The original ran 18:37. Arlo did the remake in 1995 (full album) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=O ... fKEDCmYDJY

Re: Alice’s Restaurant on WCSX
Like I said, whatever. That's one thing they might do, especially on Underground stations. In the movie "Play Misty For Me", Clint Eastwood made a long reel to reel tape, and went out to do something. Can't remember all the details.riggs wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 11:08 pmGoof off?Ben Zonia wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 3:38 pmIt was a whole album side, 18 1/2 minute track from the Vietnam War Era, about Arlo Guthrie getting arrested for illegal dumping on Thanksgiving Day, which alongside murderers and rapists, made him ineligible for the draft, which he found highly ironic.
