I WANT TELL YOU ABOUT THE TOWN OF STOCKBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETS, WHERE THIS HAPPENED HERE, THEY GOT THREE STOP SIGNS, TWO POLICE OFFICERS, AND ONE POLICE CAR, BUT WHEN WE GOT TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME THERE WAS FIVE POLICE OFFICERS AND THREE POLICE CARS, BEING THE BIGGEST CRIME OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS, AND EVERYBODY WANTED TO GET IN THE NEWSPAPER STORY ABOUT IT. AND THEY WAS USING UP ALL KINDS OF COP EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAD HANGING AROUND THE POLICE OFFICER'S STATION. THEY WAS TAKING PLASTER TIRE TRACKS, FOOT PRINTS, DOG SMELLING PRINTS, AND THEY TOOK TWENTY SEVEN EIGHT-BY-TEN COLOUR GLOSSY PHOTOGRAPHS WITH CIRCLES AND ARROWS AND A PARAGRAPH ON THE BACK OF EACH ONE EXPLAINING WHAT EACH ONE WAS TO BE USED AS EVIDENCE AGAINST US. TOOK PICTURES OF THE APPROACH, THE GETAWAY, THE NORTHWEST CORNER THE SOUTHWEST CORNER AND THAT'S NOT TO MENTION THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY: Philadelphia's WMMR 93.3 FM will be playing "Alice's Restaurant" at 10a, noon and 2p tomorrow. (Thanks, Pierre.)
(We are now forty-three years since Guthrie's arrest. Alice, of course, no longer lives in the church, by the restaurant, in the bell-tower, but in Provincetown, Mass. Officer Obie died in 1994.)
