Totally agree with both of these. Its really sad, everytime we start to feel like we're progressing and the culture is moving forward, something like this reminds us how far we still have to go. What's worse, I'm not sure there are any pioneers left, anyone with youthful vision that has also has the dedication..shyt that gives a damn enough to effect change.

Good ting I Irish and could go drink and piss all over Manhattan on St. Patrick's Day....................haul allyuhmudderkhunt

dunno if you just kicksing but I find this an excellent idea. New York state has tons of places that would be more fun, more scenic and offer less restrictions that the pkwy

I completely disagree. Even if we're only tolerated for business gain, if we're treated right, the bands get their due and I enjoy my day nothing else matters much.
