alice's restaurant church

Some of you may remember Alice, and the restaurant —and the draft. Alice and her husband lived in the bell tower of this church near Great Barrington, Mass., and put their garbage down where the pews usta be, according, memorably, to Arlo Guthrie, who attempted to take the garbage to the dump on Thanksgiving and thereby evaded the draft. And seaking of people who evaded the draft—never mind.
   Anyway, Arlo bought the church for real, nad now it's called The Guthrie Center. They hold hootenanies. Sorry, they have folk music concerts and interfaith religious services there, and I guess there's pews there again. I was gobsmacked to see the church when I was visiting Katie and Mike.
