Pathetic Fallacy: Hurrah for the Pumpkin Pie

A companion essay for this episode on my blog about Thanksgiving specials and protest songs.

The Kingston Trio: Where Have All the Flowers Gone? (1961)

One of the most successful covers of this song, originally by Pete Seeger.

The Original Caste: One Tin Soldier (1969)

In the episode I don’t remember who wrote this song, but it was Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter.

Arlo Guthrie: Alice's Restaurant Massacree (1967)

Here it is in all its 18 1/2 minute glory.
