Phil Ochs – The Men Behind the Guns

Let's drink a toast to the admiral
And here's to the captain bold
And glory more for the commodore
When the deeds of might are told
They stand to the deck through the battle's wreck
When the great shells roar and pound
And never they fear when the foe is near
To lay their orders down

Alice’s Restaurant – Original 1967 Recording

Happy Thanksgiving! The Alice's Restaurant massacree took place a half century ago today, or so the song says. Don't get caught driving garbage around on this Thanksgiving, and certainly not dumping it over a cliff where you might get caught. This song is probably why they have large fences installed in Massachusetts near all of the highway rest areas, to discourage people from dumping garbage.
