A little “Stocking Stuffer” for the Star Trek Phase II fans who wait so patiently between episodes

"Record THIS, Captain President!"

isn't the gap in the tape exactly the lenght of the song "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie?

I thought G W Bush stole the 18 minutes !
He gets the blame for everything else !

LOVE the version of Alice's Restaurant where Woody tells the story - can't find it on youtube, unfortunately....

Quote:

Each song is essentially faithful to the original—with one notable exception. At the end of re-recording of "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", Arlo launches into a postscript story wherein he relates going to Jimmy Carter's inauguration in 1976, and meeting Carter's son, Chip, who tells Arlo of the discovery of an opened copy of Alice's Restaurant left behind by the Nixons when they left the White House, leading to speculation around the fact that the title song and the gap in the Watergate tapes are both 18½ minutes in length.
