Hey! I was probably there! You should have looked for me.
Oh. Wait. You're THAT guy??!!
I loved the Paradise. They had great shows and it was right across the street from my house.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.
'Objects In Space'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I know I've got a Doc Watson song about a Whistle Pig! 'course that's a groundhog not a pig pig.
Wasn't there a famous short story to the effect that "Pigs is pigs."?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved the Paradise.
Me too. I saw Los Lobos and The Replacements there in the early eighties ('83-'85).
Jon saw all the shows. We've already figured out all the ones we attended in common during my brief tenure in Boston.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think that's it. I don't know if I still have the link, but I can post it at BR if I don't. I'll check when I get home.
That'd be cool. That was the most amazing live show I've ever seen. He had an awesome band for that show....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That sounds great!
I am an ignoramus, but I'll see if Hec can post the song for you.
I wonder if it's about the Pigtown that is a B'more neighborhood?
Probably not -- he's from New Jersey (and has a ridiculous/heartbreaking song about that, called, shockingly, "I'm From New Jersey"), and when you hear the lyrics (which unfortunately aren't available online) it's obvious that it is a literal Pigtown full of actual piggy pigs. But if there's a Pigtown in B'more, then that's a lovely bit of serendipity!

Memphis Minnie's "Pigmeat on the Line."
Oh yeah, there are a bunch of pickled pigfeet type songs in the blues catalog. Bessie Smith has one, I know.
Also the blues singer Pigmeat Markham.
