Marion Barry
"Mayor for Life"
well... DC has lost its Mayor
walking history walks no more
all the shit he got in trouble for
imagine all the other stuff he was doing and got away with
in various punk rock documentaries Ian MacKaye credits Marion Barry for fostering the youth music scene with his summer jobs programs
Barry was a complicated man for sure
I had various short encounters with him... all of them cordial and pleasant
with the passage of time the world changes
DC is part of that world
and
DC is changing
so many DC icons lost...
Chuck Brown... Marion Barry
who else? who is next?
RIP Mayor Marion Barry
