  • I see the chicken man. Good to know the good Dr. Coopeki MD was caught on film so much.

  • @Jcolinsol - Is that really 'The Chickenman's real name? When I was younger, I went to Maxwell Street Market often, the chicken man was my favorite.

  • Dale is a big ass.Maxwell street may have been rundown and in ruins and other things but is has a rich history and heritage. It is fameous for being the birth place of the Chicago style blues Maxwell st. should have been declared a national/local Landmark! Did the politicians listen? Hell no! just distroy eveything that made Chicago Chicago. Makes me glad I left the city when I did.

  • lol. well its true. Go back 20 30 years, who the hell would wanna go see Hannah Montana. Its a new age thing. Everyone shits there pants for a hannah montana ticket, I shit my pants because there is no Maxwell street. Thats life, everything around us is fiction. Its made up by greedy mongrols, spoon feeding this shit to everyone. keep giving them your money

  • When I was growing up in Chicago, in the 1940s and 50s, we use to call it Jew Town and Blackbottom.

  • Chicken Man's real name was Anderson Punch, but he went by the alias Casey Jones.

  • @JORDYB0Y

    Apparently the oldest recorded blues musician, not in terms of career, but age

  • @Passthepie yes he is one of the oldest blues player ever, he started his career in the 1890's!

  • Man with tophat at 0.9, isn't that daddy stovepipe?
