Cover art for Chapel Hill lyrics by Sonic Youth

The owner of Internationalist Books in Chapel Hill, Bob Sheldon, was considered by many the cornerstone Chapel Hill's progressive and radical scene. In 1991, someone walked into his bookstore and shot him; the murder remains unsolved. Many suspect that it was executed by the CIA. He was not African-American.

Although Chapel Hill does have a productive scene, many argue that it is dead by comparison to it's late 80s incarnation. The Cat's Cradle its self has moved since this song's release.
