Alice's Restaurant and Collections

Where did some of the Smalltalk Collection protocol come from? Well, according to this relayed recollection from Dan Ingalls, it came from Alice's Restaurant:

But I recognized it right away, here’s how “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” transitions from the littering trial to the draft:
"Came to talk about the draft. They got a building down New York City, it’s called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected."

If that's true, it's hilarious :)
