I thought he was referring to the word "faggot."
This is a shame, not played again this year. In the UK, Faggots are a rather revolting dish often served with onions.
However we are vary aware of other uses of the word. So much so that the BBC are banning the original of Fairy Tale of New York by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, another great track.
People look to easily for offence, and not the intent.
A sad day for musical creativity and free speech.
Bump 7 > 8. As a cultural artifact, it is priceless. Arlo's legacy is unique.

Actually, "faggots". Apparently, ArloG has lamented the choice, but owns up to it. 'That was then, this is now'-like.

Not sure. Because garbage is dumped outside of a landfill site? Or because many listeners are still sore about the American defeat in the Vietnam War?
Hilarious.
I adore this ramble. A 10 for sure.
Reminds me of visiting Syracuse on a high school band trip in the early 1970s when I was in Grade 9 and discovering that the USA was made up of large numbers of people with a well-informed, negative view on the Vietnam War.
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!

Love love love.
AWESOME. What he said and what he sang :)

Thanks Bill, heady stuff, as pressing now as ever.



"Qu'est ce que c'est que cette grosse bouse ?"
Moi j'adore cette chanson (une fois par an), et suis bien content de l'entendre à nouveau !
ça me fait bien rire
Merci Bill pour cette tradition
Happy thanksgiving
That was 2006. Sadly, WBCN is no longer with us. But Radio Paradise continues the tradition. Thanks, Bill. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Kinda love this tradition - and really love RP!!
Very best from Bath U.K.
Its 5pm in Scotland and I stayed on after work just to hear this brilliant song till the end. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!
Happy thanksgiving Americans.
( sans dec, ca change)

"Qu'est ce que c'est que cette grosse bouse ?"

This is not music!!!
"Qu'est ce que c'est que cette grosse bouse ?"
truck my blues away....
Yes but the PSD button is not working on this song!!!!
enshrined in some little folder,
is a study in black and white
of my fingerprints
Thank you for playing it a second time today since I missed it earlier. 😁
Thumbs up to Mr. Slaughter! Thanks for sharing coloradojohn, have a Super Holiday All : )

Arlo Guthrie
It's nice to hear it on the RP tradition, but at this point that's about as much as I can take.
I truly suspect the difference between those who profess to dislike Alice’s Restaurant so much and those who honestly enjoy hearing it again is due to the difference between the generations. Perhaps it’s the difference between those youngin’s with ADHD (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and those of us who are infinitely more patient. I was 21 when this was released, but I enjoy this as much today as I did 48 years ago when living in northern New Jersey. In the 1970’s WNEW-FM in New York City would play this every year on Thanksgiving and people would listen on their Hi-Fi stereo tuners – no computers, smart phones or tablets in those times because they hadn’t been invented. The next time, sit in a comfortable chair, put on your headphones, and listen to the story Arlo Guthrie tells.
Thanks RP, for upholding the tradition of playing Alice’s Restaurant again on Thanksgiving Day.eagerly as a challenge to your own understanding. And express those challenges in terms of serving other people.

I'm not a fan of public commentaries, but this piece deserves some support.
Story telling is a wonderful art form and a central tenet of political discourse. I would hope the people unfamiliar with Arlo Guthrie (yes, he’s still very much alive), Pete Seeger, Arlo’s father a generation before and the many, many people who were inspired by them, will show some interest in how they helped shape history – and how much they helped make the influence of the voice of the people possible.
WXRT in Chi. (93.1) still plays it twice every Thanksgiving.
Now if I gould just get them to quit playing "One Thing Leads to Another" by The Fixx at least every other day, I'd listen a bit more on the way in to work!
Arthur Penn? Impressive guy to have as a grandpa!
No doubt. Some fine work there by Mr. A. Penn:
Here's 3 films he directed that I really enjoyed:
Bonnie & Clyde—1967
Little Big Man—1970
Night Moves—1975
To those who are tired of this, may I suggest:
Stan Freberg's Take an Indian to Lunch, orDavid Ackles' Montana Song
And nothing beats the smell of stuffing and sitting around a table with the family, playing this on the guitar. Good times.

That's okay. Their kids will mock them soon enough!

I can handle this song one time a year, but twice in one day (so far) is a little more than I can handle.


Its worth waiting a year for something this good. Happy thanks giving America.
On Thanksgiving Day it's a big ol' 10.
Happy Turkey Day!
Steve
PS: I'm giving thanks for RP....not just today but pretty much EVERY day!!
