Reclaiming the names of things


The Weakerthans - One Great City!

If you look closely (and play with contrast), you can see me standing beside the sign. This photo was taken the night before I left the city. I was so glad to be gone. Anyway, I used to think that this song was a tribute to the city; a romantic gesture towards the city the songwriter loves, but I now know that's not the case. It really is that bad.

My favourite part is the chorus.
