Since everybody is scrambling for Michael Jackson's stuff now that he's passed, I'm going to honor Iz and put "Style Wars" at the top of my Netflix queue. A pretty good documentary if you haven't seen it, especially if you're interested in the NYC scene that Iz the Wiz was a big part of.

when i was 8 or 9, we had a neighbor kid along the bank fence who was probably about 5 or 6.
his parents were super artsy and kind of weird, and he was really, really indulged. i can't remember why, but that's what we thought. anyhow, one summer we started talking to him and as the weeks progressed he started getting more and more insistent.
he would come to back fence and scream for my sister or i to come back to talk to him. we usually complied because it was so fucking weird.
anyhow, he was too little and annoying to be interesting, so at some point we would shut our doors and windows when he was screaming. but he was almost a bully ... and until my mom clued us in to the fact that the fastest way to make a kid shut up is to literally ignore him, we kept going on.
but, eventually, we literally would be trapped in our house because if we left he'd see us and start screaming.
this got the little guy really mad and he started screaming louder and louder. at one point, he hurled perhaps the worst expletive his little heart could muster: "COCONUT POOPIES! COCONUT POOPIES!" he did this for 10-15 minutes in a row. (i remember this only because the phrase has lived in infamy among my siblings and i doubt a year has gone by since where one of us has not slipped into a conversation).
anyhow, that was the last time we heard from him. soon thereafter, he moved away.
so i'm talking to my brother today, and -- like clockwork -- he uses the phrase "coconut poopies" in a sentence. with my lady out of town, and being sick, i've got nothing better to do that google the young man to see if i can't find out what he's up to today.
i'd say he's been up to quite a bit:

best quote (obviously)
"having fashioned himself as a sort of painterly publius, banksy surfaces from time to time to prod the popular conscience." |
