Doesn’t everyone listen to that song on Thanksgiving?

My folks do, although I guess they forgot this year.
I’ve never heard this song on Thanksgiving.
This is my first time hearing this song ever. Is this a white america thing?
I’d never thought of it that way but I can’t think of any POC who have strong opinions on Arlo Guthrie,
This was years ago, why are you posting it now?
Is this a Discourse bug or something? I’m half serious…
NEVER MIND, I’m an idiot.
The main story of the Alice’s Restaurant Massacre takes place on Thanksgiving.

Same here… if it’s a white America thing, I guess it’s a “white America whose family has been in the country for at least a couple of generations” thing as I’m white (or Latino, but that depends on what set of rules you use), but my family has only been here since the 1960s.
I wonder if it’s more a “People who’s parents were hippies in the 60s” thing, rather than being a “white people thing”.

A local radio station would play Alice’s Restaurant more or less on repeat every Thanksgiving, I didn’t actually listen to it all the way through until high school and just assumed that it was like 4 hours long.
This is the only Thanksgiving song you should play.

I think it might be, because my family are the whitest of white people and none of them have ever heard of this.
Could well be. My parents were/are hippies and listen to it every Thanksgiving.
Yep. This is completely accurate.
