New Video: When They Tore Down Washington Square Park
I thought you might enjoy this Youtube video/song called “When They Tore Down Washington Square Park.” Steve Baldwin (very talented!) produced the video and the music. He’s playing the guitar and all instrumentation, mixing, etc. I’m singing and conducting the tour around the park.

Lyrics: When They Tore Down Washington Square Park
Well they’re chopping down the big old trees
Getting rid of the birds and bees
Because the architect said so
Because the architect said so
Then they dug up the moulderin’ bones
Piled them up in the Quiet Zone
Because the architect said so
Because the architect said so
Bloomberg, Benepe, nobody was ready
When you tore down Washington Square Park
In the fountain they moved away
Where the children all used to play
Is a hole in my heart that cries
For the men who want to privatize
System’s corrupt, ’cause the fence is going up
Things get suspicious when you’re dealing with the Tisches
Desecration’s not a crime, don’t you love the redesign?
The decision was made in the dark, when they tore down Washington Square Park
