So more or less I am SUPER excited. I'm planning on going and seeing Arlo Guthrie at the Sunset Center in Carmel in April. The reason this is so exciting for me is because I LOVE Arlo Guthrie, for many reasons, but I clearly remember hearing the song "Alice' Restaurant Massacre" when I was really young with my dad. Having a discussion with my dad about a year ago about the Vietnam War era, we found that we both agree that Alice's Restaurant is one of our favorite protest songs from the era. We both like the circular reasoning to the song. And I've decided if I'm ever in a situation like that (being drafted) that i'm going to "walk into a shrink where ever [I am] and sing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walk out". According to good ol' Arlo that they'd think I'm crazy and won't take me. Singing a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" would be more effective than telling the "psycitrast in room 604 and telling him 'shrink, i want to kill, i want to kill, i want to eat dead burnt bodies, with veins in my teeth' and start jumping up and down yelling 'kill! kill! kill!''. I love using song lyrics to make a point :).

Ok that was really bad... he freespeeched himself into my brain! I listened to it for a couple of minutes and he started to get into my subconscious. Now I am hearing voices telling me to eat potato chips and write poetry about 7-11 slurpees. Should speech be free if it messes with your mind?
