Nearly 50 years ago, Arlo Guthrie debuted a clever, rambling tirade of a song at the Newport Folk Festival that seemed to sum up all the sentiments of the 1960s counterculture. Alice's Restaurant, the hit song and the record, launched his career, later became a Hollywood film, and helped foster a new political commitment among his generation. American folk music royalty, Guthrie carries on his family's legacy in concerts that combine inspirational music with timeless stories steeped in social consciousness.
