Subject: Origins: W/ money in yr pocket-Blind Pig,LA,70s From: Irthlingz Date: 09 Jun 20 - 11:24 PM In the later 70s (76-79?), in the "Blind Pig" coffeehouse in the 6500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles (less than half a mile east of N. Highland Avenue), I heard a (folk-rock?) band fronted by a guy with a gravelly voice kind of like Rod Stewart and an eye patch. The song I'm interested in starts something like, "The bears up in Boston they all have fine degrees" and the hook is "With money in your pocket, good God, the world treats you right." Would love to remember the name of singer/songwriter or band, and find the song itself. Most of the acts that played the Blind Pig were acoustic singer/songwriters, so I'm thinking someone in the here may have hung out there back then. Thanks! |
