I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington."

10. And friends,

somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

[GOPisEvil]

The Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement!

I Want TO KILL, KILL, KILL!

3. Just make sure you have a sentence for littering

and you'll be fine.

12. Politically incorrect Arlo

As best as I can remember it, on walking into the draft board and singing a bar of Alice's restaurant:

"If two do it, in harmony, they may think you're both faggots and they won't take either of you."

Sigh, It was the '60s zeitgeist with gay rights barely on the radar screen.
It could be ironic, I suppose, but it doesn't feel like it.

Still, a wondrous song from my childhood.

[Digger]

17. Yeah,

it bothered me when I first heard it. Kind of saddened me, coming from a cool guy like Arlo, but he's changed it and I've forgiven him.

[zauberflote]

18. What'd he change it to?

Just wondrin'

[Digger]

19. Last time

I heard him do it, it went something like: "...if two do it together they might think it's some kind of a movement or something..."

[Wickerman]

13. No, but he would've shown the 26 8x10

glossy photos had he been able to figure out how to use Powerpoint (nod to article this weekend oft quoted at DU on Powerpoint making you stupid)...

[zauberflote]

14. Kid, we found your name

on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage."

[kmla]

15. It was a typical case of blind justice....

:smoke:

[Digger]

16. I've been to five

of his concerts and each time "Alice's Restaurant" gets better.

Thanks for making me smile. :hippie:

[LWolf]

20. What's the

significance of the pickle?

I knew it wasn't an ordinary pickle!

[edzontar]

21. I don't want a pickle....

Just wanna ride on my motorsickel...

It's a different song.

Arlo is great.

[zauberflote]

22. And I don't wanna die

Just wanna ride my motorcy....
cle.

[LWolf]

23. It's been about 12 years now,
