Did it sink in?
That answer isn't important, I'm still going to go over the anatomy of a riot. Why? 'Cause this, my friends, was no riot.
Paging Dr. UT Pussy. Get your shit together! You gotta crawl before you can walk kids. This was not rioting at a college level, this wasn't even rioting on any level. What this was, was a fun run, a sing along, and an unauthorized campfire. Let's get this straight; To even be considered a riot, personal property must be unwillingly destroyed (setting your own mattress ablaze does not count), cars must be flipped, and the "athletic" police officers (if not National Guard members) must be deployed, in full on riot gear to quell your uprising. This just gets an F for presentation and an F for effort. Go back and repeat Rioting 101 again, we'll hire a new professor for you.
I'm not kidding either. I attended a Jr. College, A JUNIOR COLLEGE, that lit a couch on fire in the stairwell of the dorms just for the hell of it. You don't impress us, hundred-thousand dollar university.
What impresses me? John K. Samson, the leader of The Weakerthans, and his little, three song solo record, City Route 85.
Pretty. I'll soon have it on a t-shirt.Yes. This is short and if you're unfamiliar with his work you may be a little hesitant to shell out the six bucks for the vinyl (no CD). That's understandable, but you'll really be doing a disservice to yourself if you don't go out and at least download the other two songs from a reputable dealer. (Track 3 is provided for you below, gratis, from The Weakerthans' website.) Samson is an amazing word-smith, singer and guitarist, and these three songs are the perfect example to what he does best.
*NOTE: If you do purchase the record, the first 500 come as white vinyl. I don't know if this is sold out yet, mine hasn't arrived.
This city seems content to tempt fate and avoid burning itself to the ground on a nightly basis.
