Here's a roundup of radio stations playing Alice's Restaurant. Also, what's this holiday really about for you?

Click here or here for stations that have been known to play it in the past.

As far as confirmed airings for this year, WZLX (100.7) will be playing it at 9, noon, and 4, per usual.

WUMB (91.9) will be playing it at noon. They've previously played the anniversary edition as well as the regular one, so it'll be a surprise.


EDIT: They're playing the anniversary edition!

Also, Alice's Restaurant is a good reminder that any time we bring up one-sided historical references (such as celebrating Thanksgiving), we should also be conscious of mentioning at the very least that there are two sides. Tell your kids and friends and families that some folks observe a Day of Mourning today. If you celebrate Thanksgiving in a mainstream sorta way, make sure you make it clear that you personally aren't cooking and gathering with loved ones today in order to celebrate the taking of land and the ensuing genocide (Um, and if this is what you're celebrating, kindly get offa my blog. Or stay here, keep reading, and learn something).

Too often, we stand by idly because we "know" that our friends and families and loved ones are all on the side of justice and fairness. They probably are, but even so, every time we make stupid pilgrim hats without explicitly mentioning the whole story, we're allowing only one side of the story to be heard, and I think the subtler forms of silencing are the most damaging. And while I'm on my vegan-fair-trade-organic soap box, might I suggest that there are really tactful, middle-ground ways to remember and acknowledge. Do your family and friends go around the table and say what they're thankful for? Or say some sort of grace or blessing? Then attend their celebration, enjoy yourself and your loved ones, and toss in a line about how on this day you're also remembering the genocide and the continued struggle against racism and other oppression.
