The differences in “come and find your kind” versus “we don’t need your kind” have stuck out to me during the years. I first heard this song as a teenager yearning to move to the city. I made it and now fear artists that live by their own means cannot afford such places. The sprawl and or gentrification focuses on growth in all the wrong places and access being denied. If we keep headed in that direction then who will truly be able to live among these spaces built on art and culture that were once accessible? We will hit a wall if the arts/culture can’t survive the times.
