revisiting the scene of the crime.
I watched Alice's Restaurant last night, which for those of you unaware is a film loosely based on a song of the same title by Arlo Guthrie. I think I just wasn't ready to see it again until now. As movies go it is a pretty mixed bag. As a portrait of the good and bad of the 60s hippie movement it is one of the more accurate of movies. And I think it captures some universals. If you have ever been part of a group of friends, if you have ever had a parent die and a friend die there will be some familiarities regardless of the fashion changes. And as Arlo once said Ït's a good thing it was just a movie..real life turned out a lot better."
One thing I have noticed. In those days to meet people you went where they were or they came to where you were. Now you just get online. Might be safer, but it does lose a bit of the adventure and learning experience involved.
Another good thing..it turned out that Arlo did not have Huntington's, which his father Woody died of and which he worried a lot about for years. These days He is still much like himself except a bit more..as you can find out about Here
