It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. I usually celebrate the day with my family in Connecticut watching the road race in my hometown. Unfortunately, that tradition is on hiatus this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions here in New England. One Thanksgiving tradition that isn’t going on hiatus is listening to Alice’s Restaurant. If you’d like to join me in this tradition, here’s Arlo Guthrie performing Alice’s Restaurant.
Happy listening! Happy Thanksgiving!
Fun fact! If you search for the song on Wolfram Alpha you will find a chart of Wikipedia traffic for the search term “Alice’s Restaurant.” So the question/ cultural history lesson for students is “why do people search for that term around Thanksgiving?”
