Readers Write: Bootlegging Alive & Well At The Manayunk Arts Fest
This is how it went:
Among the shirtless cell phone guys, bitchy CBS-3 reporters, and Mt. Airy earth mommas strolling down Main St. at the Manayunk Arts fest last Saturday was a guy selling Live 8 t-shirts. To these eyes, they looked about as official as that ARROWSMITH t-shirt I bought from the guy in front of the Broad & Pattison SEPTA stop in 1986. So’s I ax the fella with the goods,`Hey, are those officially sanctioned Live 8 shirts, aimed at raising awareness for the African debt?’
`No,’ he said calmly. Gotta admire his honesty.
This fucking city, man. This fucking city. It really is the center of the moral universe.
