    Arlo Guthrie, Remembering 'Alice's Restaurant'

    Arlo Guthrie, with guitar.
    Jon C. Hancock

    Arlo Guthrie says "Alice's Restaurant" is the story of a "little guy in a big world."

    Forty years ago, Arlo Guthrie dumped a pile of trash. The minor crime made him ineligible for the draft. In 1967, he immortalized the saga in "Alice's Restaurant." Debbie Elliott hears the story behind the song.
