Filthy Speaker Addict - Ideas and Interests of an Impresario

If memory serves correct, we were once a lawless culture…

Tagging up the turf and transit,

Commandeering city parks,

Destroying precious record grooves,

And making sure the world heard our thematic rhythms

Loud and [Dolby] clear…

What happened to us??

Why is the city so silent?

Why’s The City So Silent?

- Quartermaine
