At the Purple Onion, Guido booked contemporary groups like The Mummies and The Trashwomen, and Strachota remembers that he had a catch phrase-"That's not '60s!"-that he'd yell when he didn't think the music was up to par. "If the band was playing and he was sick of it, he would say, 'The beer is all gone and everybody go home,'" Strachota says. It definitely led to an atmosphere of anything goes at the Purple Onion. Lucchesi recalls that the Purple Onion grew into a destination for touring bands, but as Guido's behavior became more erratic, he sometimes failed to pay musicians and began to burn bridges with his peers. It was a bummer to see the Purple Onion end, but it was time," she says.
