I like the part where Marshall says walking on shark is the worst song he’s ever heard. Hilarious.

Comment on Colorful Chaos: Graffiti in Greensboro by Billy Jones

Billy Jones — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:20:32 +0000

“When I was in Switzerland,” says Cranford, “there was beautiful graffiti everywhere with no effort to cover it up.” Such is not the case in Greensboro.

“Most of our work was taken down quickly,” adds Nicole, “the Bill Hicks piece we did was taken down in less than a day.”

‘Tis the DGI, Action Greensboro, Greensboro Partnership, Chamber of Commerce mindset. They see no difference between beautiful graffiti and gang tags. There’s no profit in it. But should Mr Hicks demand extravagant payment for his works of art you will no doubt see our Downtown boosters lobbying City Council for taxpayer funding to pay Mr Hicks a pittance while scraping their huge cuts off the top.

Want beautiful graffiti in Downtown Greensboro? You just have to know how to work the good ol’ boy system. It was put in place by Southerners, the Yankees learned to work it well… and if you can live with yourself you can do it too.

Thanks for a great post.

Avalon this is a great article. I wish more students and young people your age would read this. I see so many students that “go off’ to college simply becasue it isnt Greensboro. Going to a place because it isn’t where you are at doesnt solve anything. I am a Greensboro native and have lived here most of my life and I love it. GREAT ARTICLE!!! YOU MAKE ALL OF US VERY PROUD!!!

Elizabeth Rogers will also be reading at the Central Library, Greensboro, from 7 to 8 pm, Friday night, April 12. Please pass this along, for the benefit of those who cannot attend the reading on Thursday afternoon. This is the event that I hoped you would publicize.

Comment on F-Art: A F-un Interview With Doug Baker by Lisa Gardner

Good interview! Doug is talented, passionate about music, and just a great person in general. Music is and always has been intertwined with societies that produce it, and I’m glad there are people like Doug presenting it that way to the next generation.
