Oh, it just struck me as funny Some-are-young get it? (This being connected to the subject of my post.) No offense was intended. > You are correct.

Thank you as well for letting me know > why I tasted foot. :) I certainly didn't mean to belabor (or even belabour)a point about your misunderstanding. When I posted my original remark, I had seen no other corrections posted. The point about the age thing, is that you think of Alice's Restaurant as a song from a movie (because that is your experience of it) as opposed to a song made into a movie (which is what it in fact was). > > > Anyone who doesn't know Alice's Restaurant by heart BTW, should go to the > > nearest library or Record store and obtain a copy to listen to and learn. > > It is without a doubt one of the most important songs written in the 20th > > century. > > > > I am, in fact, going to try to get to the video store this weekend. The local > vidoe store has better stuff than all those big chains. The movie is cool (by all means go rent it again), but that is not what "Alice's Restaurant" is about. (Go buy The album if you just want to hear the song.) Practically everyone in the country used to know that song, because it was probably the most artful and articulate protest to come out of the Viet Nam War. As time has gone on, younger generations have had less reason to know about the song, and sometimes even when they do, they fail to understand all of the context in which it was originally sung and the multiple textures and meanings that it evokes. (Can you tell that I REALLY like this song?) :) That you were coming at it as a song from a movie, and that you got confused at the frushow, because you'd only seen the movie once a long time ago, struck me as supremely funny. I've known that song practically by heart since I was 7 years old, I only saw the movie a few years ago, and I've only seen it once too. To me your saying that you didn't remember the song very well because you'd only seen the movie once was almost like a non-sequitur. It made me laugh, and that generated the Summer Young comment. > (Anyone ever seen "The > Rutles"? That some good stuff!!) Of course! It aired for the first time as a television special when I was in like 7th or 8th grade. And I immediately went out and bought the record. It was all the rage among my friends (Who were all intense Beatle fans.) I actually preferred The Rutles to the Beatles for a while and used to get into arguments of the "who's better" variety. I was absolutely tickled when I realized that Rikki Fattar (or however he spells it) who plays Stig O'Hara was the same Rikki Fattar who was with the Beach Boys (another favorite of mine at the time) during much of the Seventies.
