(Peter knew Arlo from the Greenwich Village days, particularly, according to 16 magazine, Peter's February 1964 visit to his old stomping grounds.) "[T]he Monkees use the new energies to sing the new songs and pass on the new message. [...] The Monkees' television show. Oh, you thought that it was silly teenage entertainment? Don't be fooled. While it lasted, it was a classic Sufi put on. An early-Christian electronic satire. A mystic magic show. A jolly Buddha laugh at hypocrisy. At early evening kiddie-time on Monday the Monkees would rush through a parody drama, burlesquing the very shows that glue Mom and Dad to the set during prime time. Spoofing the movies and the violence and the down-heavy-conflict-emotion themes that fascinate the middle-aged. And woven into the fast-moving psychedelic stream of action were the prophetic, holy, challenging words. Micky was rapping quickly, dropping literary names, making scholarly references: then the sudden psychedelic switch of the reality channel. He looked straight at the camera, right into your living room, and up-levelled the comedy by saying: 'Pretty good talking for a long-haired weirdo, huh, Mr. and Mrs. America?' And then ZAP, flash. Back to the innocuous comedy. Or, in a spy drama, Micky warned Peter: ‘Why this involves the responsibility for blowing up the entire world!’ Peter, confidently: ‘I’ll take that responsibility!’ And Micky, with a glance at the camera, said, ‘Wow! With a little more ego he’ll be ready to run for President!’ Why, it all happened so fast, LBJ, you didn’t even see it." - Timothy Leary, The Politics of Ecstasy (1968)

"Alice's Restaurant Massacree" Arlo Guthrie, 1967

this song is hilarious and timeless. It's a classic anti-state/anti-war protest song.
