I’ve featured the views of South Philadelphia’s Rocco many times before.
Rocco and the History Kid from Penn
-Never had pizza delivered by intellectual before.
-Yeah, Rocco, okay. You’ve seen me grow up, so let’s...
-I’ll tell you, I’m never watching fuckin History Channel again!
-Something they said?
-Be clever and no tip!
-Well give me something or nothing, but I gotta get back.
Cellphone’ll vibrate madly soon.
-Some Army Mackenzie prick raids the Comanches in Palo Duro Canyon.
Most escape but he has his men shoot the horses. About a thousand!
Brutal!
-War material.
-Yeah, like Iraqis.
-Loaded example. I’ve been warned against you. We’re applying a more scientific view at the University.
-Yeah, whatever’s the newest fad. Listen, let’s go there, okay? We’ll fly
into some Texas city full of American-Shit-Architecture and loudmouths,
rent a car out to the canyon, and camp there.
-What for?
-To hear the horses, feel their spirits rushing past.
-Thanks but no thanks.
-What are you afraid of?
-That you may be right. Besides, they probably filled in the canyon with rubble and built ticky- tacky houses there.
-Then we’ll camp in the crap. The horses will still come. You can’t stop them!
-They’ve been stopped. All that stuff has. We live in science, not dreams, Rocco.
-Here’s five bucks for yourself. Someday you wake up and start to dream.
-Thanks. Call in another order anytime you want to be disillusioned.
