Story behind the song
The Original Onyx. James Latimer - Lead Guitar, & Vocals. Tony Wiese - Guitar, & Lead Vocals. Jack Mondlak - Keyboards. John Flannagan - Bass Guitar. Bob Holzner - Drums, & Percussion. This song was recorded live at the Parkside Inn on September 8, 1979. This was our fifth song in the set that night. Recorded by Mike Mills with assistance from Phil Sypniewski. The song was inspired and written after a high school hall party we were just about to hit the stage and play got raided by the police and many were arrested. I, Bob Holzner, wrote the lyrics and worked with Jack Mondlak in adding these words to this song creating the song you now hear on this site. This song included a freaky spacey jam part at the end of the song that sometimes included a little tribute to Clutch Cargo.
