Hahaha, damn, that's harsh. Yeah, he is very eloquent and I liked the way he was able to put what they were doing into context. When these guys were creating this whole thing, the South Bronx was the poorest area in the entire country. There were so many abandonded buildings that they actually painted flowers and windowsills on the empty windows because they didn't have the money or manpower to knock down the buildings. President Carter toured the Bronx in '79 or so like dignitaries tour disaster areas. Props to the culture for creating something so beautiful and endearing out of seeming madness and despair.
