In a sick way, it’s good to see that the at-times inexcusable Geto Boys are still at it. Don’t ask me to qualify that, because I can’t.
Kudos, too, to Mr. Darnielle; Bushwick Bill’s got some hard shit to say, and John’s prose finds a classy way to remind us all that sometimes there’s power to be found in another man’s pain. Good reading…
