POP/ROCK - Nov. 28, 1991

Arlo’s Office: The zoning board in Great Barrington, Mass., has given folk singer Arlo Guthrie permission to move his office into the former home of Alice Brock, the restaurant owner he made famous in song 20 years ago. Guthrie’s anti-war ballad “Alice’s Restaurant” told of a Thanksgiving Day, 1965, arrest for littering that kept him out of the military draft. The board endorsed the zoning change after Guthrie said there would be no re-enactments of a party scene from the movie based on the song. “No motorcycles in and out the front door,” one board member insisted.
