 Arlo Guthrie concerts to mark 30th anniversary of "Alice's Restaurant" by Seth Rogovoy
Thirty years later, Guthrie is hosting a series of concerts marking the anniversary of "Alice's Restaurant." The shows will benefit the Guthrie Center, a non-profit organization housed in the very same church that figured so prominently in the song and the subsequent movie of the same name.
While Guthrie said the center has been active these past few years in serving the needs of the local community with services, classes, lectures, meetings and other programs, he hopes the coming year will see a much higher profile for the center.
A friend of Guthrie's who previously worked with community service organizations in Florida, Griffis has already secured the center's first grant funding, the majority of which will be used for the repair and renovation of the 135-year-old church building.

 Alice's Restaurant Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Guthrie, in the disc's audio commentary, says that Alice's Restaurant is "older people's versions of what we were doing [in the '60s]." So, it's no wonder then that the film offers a virtual smorgasbord of '60s clichés, including free love; drugs; communal living; and terribly misunderstood, peace-loving hippies.
Arlo's father's illness and the knowledge that he could inherit the disease were, no doubt, a central fact of young Arlo's life, but including it in what is essentially a fiction film feels terribly exploitive.
Guthrie insists, though, that Penn was wrong and points out that the Trinity Church (which Guthrie purchased in the 1990s) has been reconsecrated and now serves an interfaith foundation dedicated those same '60s ideals of world peace and tolerance.

 Arlo Guthrie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Arlo Guthrie displayed a sly sarcasm and understated sense of humor and wit.
It's been nearly 40 years since folk icon Woody Guthrie died, but when his son Arlo Guthrie uttered those words Wednesday night at UCLA's Royce Hall, there was little doubt that Woody was alive and well, whether it be in the music of his son or the spirit of the fans who filled the auditorium.
That sly sarcasm and understated sense of humor and wit were an earmark of Guthrie's performance, one in a series of dates commemorating the 40th anniversary of his classic "Alice's Restaurant Massacree." The song, a Thanksgiving staple, has become an anthem to "those peace-and-love types," symbolizing their take on corporate politics and American government.

Guthrie, now living in New York, challenged the commercial aesthetic of the pre-rock era through a performance style that was not merely plaintive, like that of countless singing cowboys in the movies, but almost combatively anti-musical.
