Quite fascinating what the Uptown outpost of McClatchy is hawking these days. Snorg Tees is a PG-13 seller of t-shirts, intended mostly for the college-age crowd. Nothing wildly offensive, but more than a few notions that might conflict with the do-good values of the Dilworth liberal set the paper normally tries to please.
Perhaps this is some sort of mistake. Perhaps the Uptown paper does not really stand behind such notions as “Any Job Worth Doing Is Worth Doing Drunk” — although that would explain much that goes on down on Tryon Street.
Most of all, I am curious how this call to alcohol use and abuse squares with the paper’s Mission Possible effort, as every study of social dysfunction and need for the past 40 years has identified alcohol abuse as a prime component of family breakdown and social decay.
This is John Lee Hooker.
