Steve Goodman : Lincoln Park Pirates (Live)

[Imissthepostoffice]

Well I was trying to put in some sort of e-mail address that google required in order to post whatever I was posting (my first post). Everything was taken, so I just typed in what I felt at the moment. It was really nothing that I had planned. I did work there for 11 years ... +

You are probably right about Joliet Prison.

[88888Rob]

I have always assumed it to mean Joliet Prison since I first heard him do this song on Rush Street in the 70s! Just curious, what is the Post Office reference?

[Imissthepostoffice]

I have been thinking now, since my last post, that Joliet Prison may have been the "charm school from Joliet" that Steve is referring to. Not a big deal, but I remembered that Joliet Prison closed down awhile ago. I forgot about that after posting about Stateville Prison (also in Joliet). It is not a big deal, but if anyone's concerned and has time to look up this stuff .. it would be fun to read it next time I visit this site. And, too, I didn't want to be incorrect on my

proper prison!

And to 1000Magicians ... Thank you for your awesome posting !!

Because I recently worked @ Stateville, this song was going through my head ~ but they all are recent graduates of the charm school in Joliet ~ Just way too funnily put !

Watching him just makes me smile too.  I've lived in Crook County for a LONG time.

It is good to hear a good old voice ~ so in tune to the politics and all .. hilarious !!

I feel it was only yesterday ....

Is there any other video of him performing this live?

[SBS829]

I was fortunate enough to see Steve Goodman live a few times before his tragically early death. This song is a true classic.

Makes me homesick....

[ytanalytics]

Lincoln Park Towing company is still alive and well, unfortunately. I had to pay hundreds, 30 years after this performance, to get my car back- covered in dust.

thanks for posting this, i miss chicago and i never seen this song performed.

Wonderful video! Thanks so much for sharing Steve!

Did Steve write in the video clips? This is fabulous, you don't have to be from Chicago to appreciate this.
