“Car 54 made NYC look like a fun place....”
It was
I love the city where I am from, NYC. My grandparents, great grandparents, Irish bricklayers, FDNY, then college devotees, Catholic, musicians, who built it. The ornamental plastering at radio City Misc Hall and the History Museum, the gargoyles on the Chrysler Building
The Irish women raised the Monsy to put up St Patrick’s Cathedral. No one depended on government for these structures. They would never have been magnificent. The Empire State Building was put up in less than a year. It is still magnificent
We should go in for $2.50 concerts in the amphitheater in the Park (Central Park). The Shaeffer Music festival. the Dead, NRPS, Marshall Tucker, then the Talking Heads B 52s.
We cut school and took the train in for the St Patrick Day Parade drink beer with the old guys at the Blarney Stone where they’d serve us
We’d get dressed and meet our fabulous aunts for dinner
It WAS fun
This guy could bury all that forever with sharia law and communism. Or the New New Yorkers for whom, as Anne Coulter said, history stars at breakfast, can get sick and figure out that they’ve been invaded, that foreigners and young angry women out this guy in, get some figure out and some testosterone a semblance that it is actually they who are in charge in a constitutional government under a Declaration of Independence and freaking fix it
Look at Giuliani and what he did, look at Trump. Fix it.
There's a holdup in the Bronx
Brooklyn's broken in out in fights
There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights
There's a scout troop short a child
Khruschev's due at Idlewild
Car 54 where are you?
