Yes she had a potty mouth as well, but in a more subtle, softer way. When you were packed shoulder to shoulder just inches away from people who were complete strangers only a few moments earlier, it was alright. It was OK. In all the times we visited the "Inn" I never once witnessed anybody getting out of hand. None of us wanted the fun to stop, so we all kind of policed ourselves.
I would give anything So for the time being, it will just have to do. Do you remember Nancy singing this one or something like it to the old Oscar Meyer Hotdog jingle? My memory of the Fox Inn was of going there sometime in the late 70's with my wife and another couple.
We must have arrived early because I belive it was Bill who came over and asked if my friend and I would check ID's at the door in return for free beer. How could we turn down that offer. So while our wives sat up front, we sat by the door and checked ID's; and we all enjoyed the show.
What better place for a teenager with an affinity for beer and a fake ID in the 's!!!! Snuck down there many a night during high school and college. And Songs Banned in Boston was regularly played at parties. Sad day when the inn closed. Thanks for posting this. John in Massachusetts. He was amazing! For those of you too young to have seen Bill Foster: Too bad, so sad! You missed it!!! It seems that there always was a super long line outside the Foxx Inn in the 70's. I remember sitting there till I couldn't hold it anymore and got up, only to hear "we know where you're going"; it was quite a place for some table clothes and beer But the star attraction was always The Foxx and it was hard to compete with someone who could, seemingly, unhinge his throat and pour it down the hatch.
Thanks for the memories, Bill Wheeler. I mite the Fox in Walked his place, he was sitting at the bar drinking beer. This was the early after noon. My wife and I were the only customers. We thought he was just another of our beach community drunks.
We were apprehensive as he walked toward our table. He told us to stick around the place would be packed in a little while.
He then picked up our tab for the rest of the night. We talked a while more never finding out who he was and still thinking he was just a neighborhood drunk.
The place got crowded, he excused hisself and said he hoped we would enjoy the show. He then got up went over to the piano and started performing, which was playing the piano, singing bawdy songs and drinking beer on his head. Everyone sang along and needless to say a good time was had by all. Stayed friends with for years. Until I took a job out of town. The next time I made it back the place was closed.
Saw him on tv a few times, was very saddened by his death. He was a wonderful man. Mike T. Those crazy bawdy songs will be with me forever. I attended his show enough times to sing along to most of the lyrics and chants for them - I brought my parents to the show and anyone I could convince they had to experience this for themselves.
Everyone always left hoarse and perhaps a tad over the limit and feeling great! Thank you Mark B. Worked for free beer in the mid 70s. I was his printer and drinking friend. Heard him on the TV and when I mention to my son that I knew the Fox and had invited him to our wedding. He laughed. I told him to ask his mother, who liked going to the Fox Inn after we were married in My son looked at me differently after that. His father knew the Fox. Life didn't get any better. Someone sent me his obit and it was a sad day in beer land.
Charley Wallace. I was fortunate enough to spend many nights at the Fox Inn when it was open. When I heard this recording it immediately took me back.
The Fox Inn was legendary and The Fox was awesome. I will never forget it. RIP Bill. We didn't know anything about The Fox Inn, but always noticed a long line of people waiting to get into that little European-looking hole-in-the-wall on Santa Monica Blvd.
We decided that it must be something worth checking out so we finally Ventured in one night. It was pretty early and not much going on. Finally, the crowd was getting antsy and began chanting, "Where the fuck's the Fox? Where the fuck's the Fox? We laughed so hard we cried. When she had to relieve herself after drinking a couple of beers, everyone stopped singing and began chanting, "We know where you're going!
Definitely something to be experienced in person. We miss you, Bill! In heaven there is no beer So much goofiness. Michelle used to work with me in a radiology office and moonlighted as a waitress at the Fox Inn. They're all out of paper in the ladies room, it's drip dry. As a UCLA student, football and baseball player, frat boy and then later as a young working adult, a night at the Fox Inn was as much fun as could be had.
A few of us could come reasonably close to the Fox in beer drinking speed but of course never beat him and knew plenty of his bawdy songs and other off color ones as well, so during his breaks the Fox joined us on the bus for more fun.
I do not take credit for this, but after doing a search i found a copy on a torrent site. So i downloaded it and uploaded it to Youtube so everybody can hear it and enjoy it. I tried my best to take out the spaces between the tracks. Not perfect but as best as i could do. If anyone has his album or CD you are trying to sell please contact me at thanks!! I have this record. I finally posted it to my vinyl blog today. It's autographed by Fox himself, and he signed it with a horrific spelling error.
