Ill Street Blues

The next three days will be thorough. Got a few things taken care of today that will help the week go by a little better. But I came across an interesting little ditty from back in the day. Once upon a time, there was a movement to incorporate Boston's Roxbury neighborhood as its own city and rename it Mandela. Peep the video snippet. What's your adress? Mandela, Massachusetts, son. Wow. I'm feeling that. Boston has interesting mix of affirming and saddening historical attributes that distinguish it as a hotbed of political banter aside from the usual suspects. The brief analysis exposes a lot of subtle complexities that still exist. Very interesting stuff. I've spent much time in the past digging through similar archives, but this site is quality. Definintely more stuff to write about as I'm sure I'll get to 'em eventually.
