The Mayor's office isn't responding to media questions. I'm guessing they got pressure from downtown alders because of the teen takeover shit...which doesn't happen as the mart.

That was an option play, right? Caleb could have run it, flipped it to Swift, or, once Kmet came open, make that throw.

Ah, the Red Book, the OG Rolling Stone Guide. The one where Dave Marsh said Joe Strummer "made Andy Capp sound like a BBC announcer" (?) and docked Sparks a star for every album for being responsible for Queen (who got higher ratings). An imperfect guide, but I learned from that one too.

So many. In high school, I got a copy of the first collection of Robert Christgau's Consumer Guide reviews, which is why I ended up buying a copy of Big Star's Radio City for $2 in a cutout rack. Never would have know about it but for that.

Sparks.
