For all of you who follow the time-honored tradition of listening to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant Massacree on Thanksgiving Day, here's the original newspaper article about the "crime." It was published after Thanksgiving in 1965 (calculated: Guthrie was 18 in 1965). Enjoy all the detail!

We have a choice: We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15 billion-year heritage in meaningless self-destruction.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...
