Fils -- Arlo.
I don't know the song, though, as I am violently
averse to folk music.
Is Alice's PDP-10 a homage/parody/something of the (?) Arlo Guthrie
piece?
Exactly. And I despise folk music too but I *love* Alice's Restaurant.
It's mostly a political shaggy-dog story with only one verse of singing
along with the git-tar. Might be an exception to your rule too.
