BB Gabor - Hunger, Poverty & Misery
It’s amazing after 40 plus years that I can still know all the words and can singalong to this song.
I loved this guy…beautiful songs, really had a great influence on my psyche back in the day
no idea why I dug up this tune tonight. and here it is. just as perfect as it was when I somehow owned the album in Calgary back in the early 80s. love gone bad has created so much excellent music over the years. tho not as much as love gone right I suppose. but this song just haunts me.
Thanks BB !
I knew Gabor and some of the guys in his band. He was a bit of a troubled soul, but a terrific musician. At his peak, he was one of the top talents in Canada. A shame his impact wasn't larger and longer lasting.
this song captures the feeling of an actual russian friday night, the voice mannerisms the tones, great job
If Trevor Rabour is playing on it I may like ir
B-Side to Nyet Nyet Soviet. Great Songs
Classic. I have the original photo sleeve 45 with Soviet Jewerly on the B side. Poor bastard snuffed himself.
Putin is Babushka - ha ha ....... Putin eat Borscht - ha ha 😁😆
From a reliable source.....Gabor wrote this about his bass player!
I wonder if Jason Falkner listened to BB. There are so many bits of this tune that are right out of the Falkner playbook, I would not be surprised if Jason was influenced by BB.
Any specifics? Would love to hear them
My wedding song! ❤
I remember picking my books up for grade 9 and heard them playing this album. I thought it was a sign fot a great time in high-school! I was wrong a couple of people just had good taste in music.
Sorry Gabor; so tragic. You were a great guy. Bad breaks all around... Your collaborations with Leon Stevenson were truly epic. Best songwriters in Canada in that time.
heard them at Peter Clark Hall in 1980
I was the drama spoken word producer at our university radio station and we got all the new and strange stuff every month and we played it. BB Gabor's record came in and we thought, this is ground breaking. Musically. We weren't sure culturally how far it would go. But we were right, his sound went everywhere. Poor guy, he new made the dollars from his ground breaking work. This Smiths had huge hits based on his innovations.
I'm lucky enough to have a friend who was taught by David Bendeth, who played guitar on this album! BB was exquisite, and a true talent, missed but not forgotten. Forget the hit parade - - Hunger Poverty and Misery rivals BTO's Blue Collar - for class and style! And the arrangement (maybe minus the over-long 80s outro) for Big Yellow Taxi - is one of the nicest Covers ever put to music. I hope he found peace, leaving us at such a young age - and is looking down smiling.
Takes me back! Thank you. CFNY 102.1 Toronto played B.B. Gabor at the time.
there was a brief window when Q107 - under the leadership of Gary Slaight - was weaving new wave and post punk into their rock format. I lived in Niagara so CFNY was just out of earshot for their first couple of years but Q was clear as a bell (they transmitted from the CN Tower). That's where I first heard BB Gabor, Talking Heads, the Government, the Clash, Gary Numan (Tubeway Army!), the B52s, Lene Lovich and more. In fact they had an overnight show in which they played new albums in their entirety. I always tried to stay up to tape the ones I wanted, but usually crashed. I remember drifting in and out of sleep when Numan's "Replicas" was on and I thought I was hearing music from the future! They had an annual local talent contest, and the winners would make it onto that year's "Q107 Homegrown Album". The first couple are pretty brilliant, if you can find them.
Cool
awesome songs
Just bought a poster on eBay advertising his second album. Cant wait for it to show up!
I first heard this in 1983 and I thought it was catchy but now its more like a very sad talented guy that died young 😢
Why isn't this on spotify?? I weep for Canadian youth.
I swear it used to be, but someone must've scrubbed it!? I wanna complain! What kind of cretins look at Art and Sarcasm and censor it? Hope I'm wrong!

This song reminds me of the country side for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it
Our family was so in tune to Canadian music,i still am.
Bought this when it came out. I was 14. This became my fav song on the album the first time i heard it. Have not heard it for 40 years. Played the entire album again tonight. Still my fav song on the album.
Where is BB today ?
Dead. He died January 1990
MAKE GOOD PICTURES LOOK GREAT! AND HAVE MORE FUN USING THEM!
Can you upload the full album
Mike is my uncle
Nick Haniotes And his brother Mike
My dad is going to do you
Made it to Crete did you
If Mac Demarco didn't lift his sound from this song, I would be shocked.
Love cruising down the road while listening to this song!
Killer, beautiful irony! And I am thinging: "WHERE ARE MY COMPATRIOTS FROM MY COUNTY? WHERE ARE ARE THEY FROM COMMENTS AND PUBLIC SPEECH?!?!!"
Thanks BB for this tireless anthem of hope against all odds. Looks like hope is gone but BB's music remains.
History repeats itself.
love this music. it brings back memories of my early life in toronto where i think i was first exposed to BB Gabor
A Classic of the Cold War times and quite relevant now as the body bags come home to Moscow.
Council.
Soviet used to mean council. Where is the council of literary dynamics?
I forgot the reference to MYRA......chased our bands singer at several gigs.....in fact we named our bands truck Myra, painted on the hood.
Have had the album since "the day" have not heard in years, Thanks Can't get overt how much the solo sounds like Becker of Steely Dan.......going to dig the album out now cheers
Yeah he was a good guy
They are invading Ukraine now
My dad texted me early this morning, outta the blue, saying he’d finally remembered the song and artist that had been running through his head “like a kamikaze” for 35 years, and here I am looking forward to a great revelation in 2047.
