Thanks to William Burroughs

We mostly ignore the offensive christian implications of this week's holiday, but we do have three time-honored turkey-day traditions. One is a feast with family and friends. The second is listening to "Alice's Restaurant" (which can always be found playing on at least one Austin radio station on the holiday) . The third, though, is my favorite - I always listen to William Burroughs' A Thanksgiving Prayer, as I have every year since the late eighties.
