Folk legend Woody Guthrie’s son Arlo Guthrie was born in Coney Island on July 10th of 1947.

His most famous song is the 18 minute long “Alice’s Restaurant” which was released on his album of the same name in 1967. The song was adapted into a movie also titled Alice’s Restaurant in 1969.

The song was based on real events involving Arlo Guthrie on Thanksgiving Day, 1965 (November 25th.)

I couldn’t find the original version of the song, so here’s the 1997 remake by Guthrie:
