Alice Brock and her former husband Ray Brock opened a restaurant in Stockbridge Massachusetts. It was only open for a year due to their divorce. I can’t describe much of its physical appearance but I imagine it to be very family oriented. He wrote the song based his experiences in his life and what had happened to him on Thanksgiving Day 1965. The tone of this song is sarcastic but true. He had a sense of humor. “You can get anything you want” I think that it means that if your feeling down or lonely or just need someone to talk to that you can always count on it to be at Alice’s restaurant. Alice was a painter and designer, she also worked at a private school. He named the song after her restaurant because it had to do a lot with her. Alice is currently living in Provincetown Massachusetts. She owns her own art studio and gallery, and she illustrated Guthrie’s children book, Moses Come Walking. Guthrie was raised around the music industry and his father was a musician he sang Folk music. He got into some trouble along the way but who doesn't? He is still an actor and singer.
