Chris is quite intelligent, and I think he got the reaction he probably expected. Any time this topic comes up, it is sure to be a strong outcry against anything that evenn remotely glorifies that era...an era that certainly doesn't deserve to be glorified in the least.Some years back, I nearly got my head bitten off here (lol) when I suggested that they should probably add at least ONE train of a graffitized 1970's like train to the Transit Museum. Personally, I still to this day believe that should be the case. It was WHAT the subway looked like for two decades, and can't just be swept under the rug. However, of course that would be done in an educational way, certainly not glorifying it by making "T-Shirts" out of the image. But again, in that case, it was almost as if I was soon to get death threats, hahaha by even tainting the TM with an exhibit like that. But I feel that is a completely different circumstance, as in that case, it's hard to sweep under the rug the fact that the subway did look like that for about 1/5 of it's existence. Either way though, the point is, any mention of that horrible era, which was absolute hell in no uncertain terms, and no book can capture that feeling, is sure to have a strong backlash. |
