In my other neighborhood here in Brooklyn there was a neighbood hardware store then went up in a fire. The people in the neighborhood set up a show to raise money for the owners to rebuild. I saw the sign and went it more to see the show then to give money for the cause. It cost a hundred dollars a seat.

The master of ceremonies happen to be my friend Johnny Roastbeef. I did not even know he was going to be there. They paid him for the gig. Well as it turned out after everyone was paid off and I mean everyone. There was no money left for the owners to rebuild. But some how they did rebuild but three miles from their supporters.

Was it a scam for the organizers to raise money for themselves? Shit yes it was a scam.
