Time to take a look back into this day in rock history: October 3
1967
Woody Guthrie says farewell to his mortal coil, the victim of Huntington’s Chorea which first affected him in the 1950s. He dies in New Jersey. That same year his son, Arlo, releases his rambling folk song about the “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree”, which becomes a Thanksgiving staple for many radio stations.
