The arguments about where to site Latin School’s soccer field and the new Chicago Children’s Museum (which my family won’t be joining if it pigheadedly sticks to its plan for a crypt) are a few screws loose each.

If Latin has so much money at its disposal, why can’t they be bothered to get a field somewhere further out and bus the kids there and back?

Later, in the Chess studio, when the band was working on a song based on the old “Hambone” folk rhythm, Billy Boy suggested that Ellas stick that funny name into the lyrics. He did so, and the song ended up being called “Bo Diddley.” Arnold also claims that the singer was also named “Bo Diddley” on the record, to everyone’s surprise. The rest, of course, is history.
It’s looking like the Tribune has been bought by a man who hates newspapers.
