Convergence, or, Less Than 6 Degrees of Separation from SWP
Even though most of the images in this Rancid video for the song “Black Derby Jacket” off Rancid 2000 (my favorite Rancid CD, by far) are of New York, the very first shot is of the Chicago Board of Trade building, taken from LaSalle Street. It is essentially the very same view as the background of this blog. (Look fast–it is visible for only an instant.)
Interesting convergence, since the Streetwise Professor name was inspired by a song written by Lars Frederiksen, the handsome red-headed gentleman and guitarist who make s a few fleeting appearances in the video.
