- Not sure I got to finish the story, later that day: Rebecca Eisenberg, soccer mom and laywer running for office, is meeting me at Uni ave to check out the “distressed” murals. I meant to say that the woman I mention above did a depiction of two cranes, one yellow and one black and she explains that her background is Okinawa near Japan and she believes Asian Americans have sympathy to Black Lives Matter. It literally says this. It also, at the top, near Bryant, closer to home as it were — I live on Bryant — and closer to the mural by Greg Brown of Spiro Agnew or not pushing an alien formerly a cat – -cat we all get along, peeps? — it says that the previous set of wheat paste posters — new genre wheat past — was destroyed by a young man with a gold can; there’s also a mural of a white guy and a spray can posted in this set: i think it calls him a coward. So is this second round of posters being cancelled worse than the first or are we getting numb? Did the rains come? Did a street cleaner start to clean then realize he was ruining the art or message? Heck, will it even be there when I meet Mz Beck? (who also reviewed Beck’s Odelay and nailed the title track.
