Hung out with Arlo in the Village around the time of his recording the 1st album. I vaguely remember another 2 1/2 versions of this piece, probably because he got bored with doing the same thing night after night. The only one I can recall was "Alice's Restaurant Please Tip The Gaslight Waitress Blues", where if you neglected to tip you would be undermining the capitalist foundations of society, and nobody wanted to see that happen, do you?
