In before the “Arlo and his dad were Leftie pinkos” replies.
Thankful we are a nation that not only tolerates but embraces different political views, otherwise FR would not be here.
Besides, its a true story of law and order!
excepting Alice!
I don’t want a pickle...just wanna ride my Motorcycle
"Son, you're just the man we've been looking for."
The tune that’s a Thanksgiving tradition, you can’t miss it in this area!
The movie always shocked me how dark it is.
Even if I was a senior NCO in the army I loved that movie. I don’t care if it was anti-war. I also enjoyed Mash.
Always wondered if the blond girl he bopped in the movie was underage.
I remember when a local FM station changed from a country music to a rock and roll format. Giving us exactly one non country music FM station.
Now that’s considering there was still two country music stations left over.
They advertised for a month so country music listeners wouldn’t raise Cain, they did anyway.
I guess country music fans think as slow as they listen.
At exactly 11:59:30 on the appointed day the station finished the last country song it would broadcast.
The overnight DJ, Uncle Joe Bob, came on to say goodbye as he couldn’t abide rock and roll. He didn’t like anything but country music and Amazing Grace.
He did use the last seconds of his broadcast career to introduce the new overnight DJ, some gal named Periwinkle something or another.
Periwinkle something or another said hello and played the first non country song on an FM radio station in our area.
It was Alice’s Restaurant.
History was made.
Uncle Joe Bob was never heard on the radio again.
He spent his remaining days making the best illegal likker in these parts.
Periwinkle something or another played music overnight for three years then moved with some fella to the old gristmill.
They spent most of their time nekkid so they had plenty of kids running around.
These events happened exactly as I have said.
I think there’s a song in there somewhere but I don’t have the time.
I have to catch a train.
The fella that sold me the ticket said The City of New Orleans will get me five hundred miles before the day is done and that’s just about where I need to be.
My favorite was always the ditty about being a rehabilitated litterer.
But growing up during those years, there are two ways I still refer to policemen or deputies and law enforcement officers today. Officer Obie from Alice's Restaurant and "Book 'em, Dano" from Hawaii Five-O. Young folks don't have a clue what I'm talking about. :-)
