Appalling ....

... PhillySound: new poetry. (Hat tip, Ed Champion.)

This city does not belong to the rich. This is Philadelphia. This is the city where working class people DESTROYED the transit company nearly a century ago after their hit squad murdered peaceful strikers on Broad Street. NO ONE took the trolley, everyone started walking to work and put them out of business! This is the same Philadelphia who STILL lives here! I can feel and believe this.


Well, I would like to think so.



FUCK PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE, AND FUCK THEIR ELITE AUDIENCE!But LOVE for Philadelphia, where I learned to love the world!..


And I second this. Do people actually read Philadelphia Magazine? I should mention that I was taken to my first baseball game -- way back in 1946 -- by Joe Ferko, founder of the Ferko String Band. He was one the nicest people I have ever known.
