The song's opening is perplexing to anyone living in Chicago : My daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Many believe that there is no "east side" of Chicago, and that the aforementioned cop must have patrolled Lake Michigan . In reality, the East Side Of Chicago is an isolated enclave at the extreme southern end of Chicago along the border with Indiana. It is far removed from areas of the near South Side and North Side where Capone conducted his business transactions, making it unlikely that said cop would have become involved in large-scale gangland warfare. N.B many people in New Zealand think this is a song by The Hollies.............how wrong they are!! |
