I thought The Purple Onion was in The Village or SOHO in NY, but age will muddle your mind :rolleyes:
Somebody give me some onion rings quick and some slushies. I need it. The kids have been crazy today. Slushies take me away!
Ah, but you see, I don't remember WHERE it was, just THAT is was. I'm doing good to remember that much!!! :DQuote:

I see y'all truly are children of the 60's as you don't remember where the Purple Onion is/was - it's in SAN FRANCISCO! :p In fact, I think it's still around, although I haven't been there in eons.
(there's a Smothers Brothers vinyl live album from the Purple Onion. i am in brackets cause I haven't told a joke yet....)
Anyone that says they remember the sixties is lying ;) :rolleyes: :o
(i lived with mom and dad then, a teacher and a cop. how could i not remember? :rolleyes: )
Catty1, I actually have that album! Also, Bob Newhart performed a lot of his comedy routines there.Quote:
