This song keeps coming back around. Hildebrand actually wrote those lines in the thread name as, "....beatnik! junkie! doncha talk that way to me..." But that's the folk process at work.
Funny how the song took on a life of its own after Hildebrand went off a-wandering - just a few months after he wrote it. Steve tried to find him for years before recording it. Hildebrand heard that Steve was looking for him but somehow the contact address got lost in transit. Sadly Hildebrand never actually met Steve. Doesn't know where he picked up the song. Cheers, Joy

I forgot about this thread and opened it up to see if I could help. If you ever find memory enhancers that work--well, you'll forget why you got them and if you sent any, I'd wonder what they were. (This age thing ain't all it's cracked up to be.)

Peace and Phil, I think you deserve some kind of prize. Art and I will have to take memory enhancers...
Yes, it was Steve Goodman sainging "Chicago Bust Rag" on the Gathering at The Earl of Old Town album. The CD credits the songwriting to Greg Hildebrand, so it's all on the up-and-up.
Good song.

Hey, I see Amazon has a used copy of the CD for sale for $199. Gee, maybe I should sell mine...

Wasn't that a "prevert" on the record?

Good LP. Steve's first recording of his "City Of New Orleans" was also on it. And Fred Holstein's first recorded songs too.

But the song you are looking for was, as Joe said, written by MR. GREG HILDEBRAND !! who, with his wife, Joybelle, are fairly regular Mudcatters.

(And no wizecracks about laxatives are eneeded ;-)

It WAS Steve Goodman. It was on an EARL OF OLD TOWN LP---a compilation of folks around Chicago 25 years ago...probably other recordings too."

Well, we found out way up here in 2005 that the song was written by Greg Hildebrand, the husband of a Mudcatter. Click here for lyrics and information on the song, which is properly called "Chicago 1966" and Steve Goodman called "The Great Chicago Pot Bust." I can't find a Steve Goodman recording of the song, but I swear I've heard it by Steve. Can anybody point me to a recording?
I've heard it on a Greg Hildebrand recording, I think.

Sig,

Do you have any more information about the song. There are quite a few Steve Goodman fans here and I suspect they can help you with a little more to go on.

There is an extensive (if not complete) lyric collection at THIS SITE

Sig, try our Forum Search for threads, although I searched under "pervert" and "hippie" and didn't find it. Use our Database Search for lyrics. Put [you were on my mind] in square brackets so you search for a phrase instead of a single word. I think you'll also find a thread on "You Were on my Mind," which has the We Five lyrics instead of the original Ian & Sylvia version.

I saw the lyrics for this once in a thread. If you have that thread and/or lyrics could you put it back in again. I'm very interested in this song and the album it came from. Also looking for "You were on my mind" by sylvia Tyson.
