Yeah I was there. They made mention of the late great Gil Scott Heron. Well let me tell you something. Gill Scott Heron wouldn't play Sun City and he certainly wouldn't stand on a stage that is sponsored by Icon Realty, Tower Brokerage, Jakobson Properties, Baumrind & Baumrind and Vickers Realty.
ReplyDeleteDO NOT support anyone affiliated with this so-called festival. They ARE PARASITES sucking the blood out of what's left of the neighborhood. DO NOT SUPPORT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE OR SPONSORS
ReplyDeleteI guess the revolution will be televised, sponsored by the folks Cookiepuss mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Chi Chi, and the information...
ReplyDeleteThese sponsors are the ones who have destroyed the neighborhood. Any of the funding going to H.E.L.P. is small in comparison to the gentrification and demise of the neighborhood which continues every day because of the landlordlords, developers and realtors. If Ben Shaoul or George Bush spnnsored HOWL are you still going to look the other way? The H.E.L.P. project is not autonimous, if you were you would split and do your own thing and get your funding from different sources. This is baloney.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the HOWL haters even though I am not from the East Village and am fighting to stop development by NYU/Bloomberg in other parts of the Village.
ReplyDeleteThe corporate sponsors write-off the cost of their support as the cheapest imaginable way to advertise and have great PR. It's part of a long term strategy.
Do not cooperate with them or be fooled. The very groups HOWL is trying to protect, will be ruthlessly treated by such sponsors, when the time comes.
