THIS IS REALLY A LOVE STORY

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 12, 2019 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader

Every line I enter into my computer about the Hub is also part of a love story, because like a parent in the 1950s (or today, I guess) attempting to rationalize smacking their kids, I truly love the objects of my animosity. Oftentimes, it hurts me more than it hurts Boston to level such relentless criticism.

LESSON PLAN: HOW CAMBRIDGE MC MILLYZ SKIPPED HARVARD AND MIT TO GO WORLDWIDE

Written by G. VALENTINO BALL Posted September 21, 2017 Filed Under: FEATURES, Interviews, MUSIC, Non-fiction

Millyz background

“It’s two different worlds,” Millyz says about the gap between the colleges and blocks that he grew up on. “They never really mixed when I was growing up. You would see college students in Central Square, but in the actual neighborhoods you didn’t see that. It’s just different. When I was growing up, these were all zombies walking. These were million-dollar drug blocks.”

STATE OF THE DEPRAVITY: BELATED NOTES ON SPEECHES WRITTEN BY OPERATIVES PAID TO MAKE POLITICIANS LOOK GOOD

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted January 25, 2016 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Few things are less democratic than a state of the city, state, or union address. They are subjective greatest hits lists for captive audiences, written by people who are paid to make their bosses shine.
