Your post...last year? *checks* no, two years ago, was the first time I'd ever heard of "Alice's Restaurant". This year I've actually encountered it a couple other places as well, such as the delightful "Pop Sonnets" blog.

I can't remember having listened to Alice's Restaurant in years. I probably heard it at some point, but I didn't remember it.
ReplyDeleteThe bit with the psychologist reminded me of Richard Feynman's description of being evaluated in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, which had the opposite result. :P
Somehow, I had never heard Alice's Restaurant all the way through until sometime this year. It's great.
