Readers Write: Whither Who’s-A-Next?
Joe’s Pizza on 16th and Sansom burnt down this morning. I am pretty sad about this because it means I will not see Vito, downtown’s greatest pizza man, as much as I do now. King because: 1) He had braces until about 3 months ago, and 2) Pretty much the only thing he says is ‘who’s-a next’. ‘who’s a-next! who’s a-next! who’s a-next!’ I had a fantasy that they should blast Who’s Next by The Who while all day behind the counter. It is probably his favourite record.
This is sad news, but we’re giddy because all we can do now is shout “Who’s-a-next?” It must be some kind of mantra. We feel so light, so airy!
Sorry, Joe’s.
