Man on the Street

Why type it out when you can just show it!



Okay that was damn short. But I was the man on the street. KPIX ran on over an hour of my footage. Some of it hit the air but since it was kind of poor quality most of it was just left on the web. It's missing some of my favorite parts (people burning money and being slammed face first into the concrete.) Anyway, Click here to see what KPIX did post.

A few hours before this I used my break to shoot some video of my own. The quality is much better. To check that out, you'll just have to wait till I edit it!

I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go
