You can get anything you want At Alice’s Restaurant. Walk right in, it’s around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track. You can get anything you want At Alice’s Restaurant. – Arlo Guthrie If you know the song, you’ll eventually understand. 1. _______________ This is a first and only…
Reblogged from a ways back – for obvious reasons. _________________________________ Two of the most controversial and never-endingly (?) discussed items in the last 50 years can each be summed up with three letters.
