Both seemed cute in our youth: neither needs to be heard from any more. A historical curiosity that is now dated, corny and grating.
It came on some college radio station we were listening to today in the car on the way to a high school football game, and my brother-in-law and I smashed hands in our simultaneous haste to change the station.
I'd have to say, based on the group I brought this up with after seeing this post before dinner, is that Alice's Restaurant fans seem to be split 50/50. Some people love the tradition, some hate it. I missed it today, and part of me didn't care, but I just bought it on iTunes to make up for it. Hope everyone had a great day with family and friends.

I'm currently bleeding gravy.
Dated?
Not if you have young anti-war gentlemen in your house rapidly approaching draft age.

In addition to the radio stations mentioned on that list, WROR 105.7 FM in Boston played the song on Thanksgiving at about 6pm.
I hadn't heard that song in at least 20 years, and it was fun to hear it again.
