Alice's Restaurant: Alice Brock, who helped inspire Arlo Guthrie's classic dies at 83.

Alice Brock, who helped inspire Arlo Guthrie's classic 'Alice's Restaurant,' dies at 83.

Alice May Brock (February 28, 1941 – November 21, 2024) was an American artist, author and restaurateur. A resident of Massachusetts for her entire adult life, Brock owned and operated three restaurants in the Berkshires—The Back Room, Take-Out Alice, and Alice's at Avaloch—in succession between 1965 and 1979. The first of these inspired the title of Arlo Guthrie's 1967 song "Alice's Restaurant", which in turn inspired a 1969 film of the same name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Brock
