That does show that what you get from Google depends on who they think you are.
If he was 74 at the time, there may not be much more to find out about him.
My curiosity is a little more satisfied.

Abby,
I also googled his name. All I get are references tying me back to Alice's
Restaurant. Besides learning his name, the only other information was that he
was 74 years old at the time, and used a dog guide.

OK, but how do we get info about him? I googled, but nothing. No
Wikipedia entry either.There may be a lawyer database.

He was real, but as far as I know, we don't have a name. I was
hoping that someone in the blind community would know who he is.Did
he ever do anything to help other blind people?

I had a computer problem last week so all my old emails were lost.
What was the judge's name and I'll see what kind of research I can do
through legal channels to find out about him as it appears he was
definitely real back then.

Abby,

According to the article, he was real. But that was in the 60's. He
may not even be alive by now.

I know the song is about a real incident, including the arrest for
littering. Maybe you folks from Massachusetts know. Is the judge
who was never going to see the 27 eight by ten glossies real or
embellished Or does he exist If he does, where is he now?

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for sending this one. I remember the first time I heard
Alice's Restaurant; I was in sixth grade and had a mad crush on a
hippy-type house mother at Perkins. She used to let me come into her
bedroom and play records by groups like the Grateful Dead and the
Jefferson Airplane. Alice's Restaurant was in her collection and I
liked it from the first day I listened to it. By the time I was in
high school, many of the FM rock stations were playing it during the
week of Thanksgiving. I still make a point of playing it once either
the day before or on Thanksgiving Day.
I've read a few pieces summarizing the actual facts of the thing, but
none with this much detail.
