Happened a few days ago, a week before her namesake song gets played on radio stations across the nation :(



>>>The hippie-era icon who inspired folk singer Arlo Guthrie’s epic, anti-establishment song “Alice’s Restaurant” has died. Alice Brock suffered from health issues, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and passed away at a hospice home in Wellfleet on Thursday. She was 83.<<<

I never knew that there was a real Alice behind Alice's Restaurant and I wonder how Arlo Guthrie wrote that song basing it on that Alice. Was she a fan of Arlo's? And Arlo Guthrie decided to write a song for her. That's the song that goes "You can have anything you want at Alice's Restaurant"? Was Alice a restaurant owner too in real life?
