PIER AID 2014




Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind"
Adapted to be about the proposed Mallification of the historic Redondo Beach Pier

How many cars can a road contain, before you call it a jam?
How many chain stores can you cram down our throats, before we know it's a scam?
How many times will the Frank Scottos (Gumba Mayor of Torrance) fly, before they are forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times will a condo owner look out, before his view is blocked to the sea?
How many years can some councilmen sit, who sat on the committee that tried to ramrod through the Heart of the City deal?
How many cheese mongers, taffy pullers, and candle makers actually exist outside of our imaginations?

The answer my friends is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many many hands must be greased, until the FCCP (*FPPC) need to know?
How many ears must some councilmen have, before they can hear anything other than the frequency generated by land developers?
How many sardines will it take till we know that too many fishes have died?

The answer my friends is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing out his Aspel.
