At the underground Jackson L stop, I came upon a group of three rappers. The song they were performing was about AIDS, a message to all “fags, fairies, and dykes” that they are “history.” They will die and everyone will be better for it. One rapper said in an aside that he hoped there wasn’t anyone with that shit standing next to him. A big crowd had gathered to listen, and they loved it. Everyone laughed and applauded.
