Arlo Guthrie's 18-minute long, 1967 folk song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" was inspired by his 1965 Thanksgiving meal with Alice Brock in Massachusettsfor his record company Rising Son Records on Nov. 22, stating that Brock died on Nov. 20 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Guthrie said she had been living for four decades.
"Rick & I went to visit Ray & Alice for Thanksgiving in 1965. The rest is history," Guthrie wrote. "Alice went into the restaurant business and I began my years as an entertainer. We were, both in our own ways, successful. As well as being a restauranteur, Alice also became an author, and an artist. We worked together on various projects. During the next few decades we remained friends while our lives kept us busy. She was a no-nonsense gal, with a great sense of humor.
