“Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head...”
‘The People’s Republic of Milwaukeestan’ is a tinderbox awaiting a match. :(
I admit that when I lived in the countryside outside of Madison, I used to think all that talk about riots and "race wars" in Milwaukee was kind of funny. Now that I live just a few miles outside of Milwaukee, it isn't so funny anymore!
