The San Diego “Infamous” Chicken has sold out his own heritage.
I guess times are tough for him - He claims in his bio that he once worked with Elvis, and he’s working AA baseball games now. That has to be a let down.
The working with Elvis thing must have been a pretty odd booking decision. If you were booking a Elvis Presley concert most people would just assume that Elvis would be a big enough draw on his own. You probably didn’t really need to pay a guy in a chicken suit too.
Quote from the Chicken’s web page: ” I was sued in 1979 to bar me from ever working again in any chicken suit”. I can empathize - that happened to me too. I never actually tried to work in a chicken suit before , but the state thought that it was better safe than sorry.
The chicken has three guys who follow him around from town to town selling dolls and pictures at the ballgames. A guy in a chicken suit actually has an entourage…. I’ve had some pretty embarrassing jobs over the years, but nothing that bad. I feel horrible for those three guys. If you’re a member of The San Diego Chicken’s posse you can pretty much write off any hopes of ever getting laid.
