[HPFGU-OTChatter] Alice's Restaurant; and Hi from New Member

[Emily Schanker]

Hi All,

I'm new to the OT list, and have only posted once on
the main list. I really enjoy most of the things
discussed here, and its nice to find others with
similar interests.  To introduce myself, I'm a
sophomore in college, majoring in Engineering. Got
turned on to HP last September to prepare for the
movie and have been addicted ever since. I've even
converted a few people along the way too. :-D

You've got one more! I also like his songs and
"stories" (I don't know if Alice's Restaurant counts
as a song).  Although the protest era was before my
time (about 15-20 year before I was born), I still
like a lot of the music from then, including Guthrie,
Seeger, and Harry Chapin (who is one of my favorite
musicians).

My favorite Guthrie is The Motorcycle Song. "I don't
want a pickle/ I just wanna ride on my motorsickle./
And I don't wanna die/ I just wanna ride on my
motorcy...cle".

By the way John, I just love your Babylon 5 quotes. It
its one of my favorite shows.

"Time? There is infinite time. You are finite, Zathras
is finite, this...is wrong tool. No, very bad, never
use this!" --Zathras, Babylon 5
