The Standells are not from Massachusetts. Ed Cobb wrote the song after a visit to Boston, during which he was robbed on a bridge over the Charles River. None of the Standells had been to Boston before the song was released. In 1997, "Dirty Water" was decreed the "official victory anthem" of the Red Sox, and is played after every home victory. In 2007 the original group members were deemed honorary citizens of Massachusetts by official decree by the Massachusetts State legislature.
Mike Douglas was born in Chicago and died at age 81 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Diahann Carroll (born Carol Diahann Johnson) is 77, was married to Vic Damone from 1987 to 1996, grew up in Harlem, went to high school with Billy Dee Williams, was actually engaged to David Frost for a time, and is a breast cancer survivor.
Dickie Dodd had been the original drummer for The Bel-Airs, known for the hit surf rock song "Mr. Moto", before joining The Standells. He left in 1968 to try it solo.
