DUKE BOX EGLINTON
- youtu.be/g5Br15UJfc8
In July I worked in Galway Ireland with students from William and Mary University Williamsburg Virginia USA. The cleanup at the Eglinton Canal Galway 10 July 2022 William And Mary University students and Galway kayak club removed found objects from the canal for use in sculpture, objects listed in https://issuu.com/noelmolloy/docs/bis... , and one of the objects is a 45 vinyl single record for a juke box. Some times objects find me and this is one such time.
The music on one side is titled 'Big Bill the Builder' and about...William Hale Thompson (May 14, 1869 - March 19, 1944)
DIRECTORS STATEMENT
In recent years we have heard the phrase FAKE NEWS branded about a lot , there is nothing new about the phrase it is just another word for propaganda. As long as there are gains to be made from profit and power it will continue to flourish and none so more than in the age of the internet and social media.
BIG BILL THE BUILDER
William Hale Thompson (May 14, 1869 – March 19, 1944) was an American politician who served as mayor of Chicago from 1915 to 1923 and again from 1927 to 1931. Known as "Big Bill", he is the most recent Republican to have served as mayor of Chicago. Historians rank him among the most unethical mayors in American history, mainly for his open alliance with Al Capone. However, others recognize the effectiveness of his political methods and publicity-oriented campaigning, acknowledging him as a "Political Chameleon" and an effective political machine. Time magazine said in 1931, "chief credit for creating 20th Century Politics Chicago Style" should go to William Thompson. Thompson was known for his over-the-top campaigning and uncensored language that, along with his towering height and weight, earned him the nickname "Big Bill". Upon his reelection in 1919, Thompson had the school board suspend the Superintendent of Chicago Public Schools, William McAndrew. He was also at the forefront of the movement for the Chicago Public Library system and education officials to censor and ban many texts and historical recollections coming from the United Kingdom. His efforts to expand and publicly improve the streets of Chicago earned him another nickname of "Big Bill the Builder". In his time as mayor, he oversaw the completion of the Michigan Avenue link bridge, the Twelfth Street widening, and the extension and widening of Ogden Avenue
THE SONG - BIG BILL THE BUILDER
(mayor), 1928 – composers & lyricists: Milton Weil, Bernie Grossman & Larry Shay
BIG BILL THE BUILDER
SHORTLY AFTER THE TURN OF THE CENTURY NINE - ( ) - TWO
FROM BRIDGEPORT HE CAME TO WIN POWER AND FAME
AND TO SHOW WHAT CHICAGO COULD DO
FOR TWENTY ONE YEARS HE LED THE CITY WITH LOVE LIKE FATHER TO SON
HE SAID PULL YOURSELVES UP TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN
JUST SEE WHAT CHICAGO HAS DONE
HE BUILT THE EXPRESSWAYS HE TURNED ON THE LIGHTS
HE PERSISTED AND ENDURED
HE BALANCED THE BUDGET AND HE WON THE FIGHTS
THE CONCRETE AND STEEL WERE POURED
THE BUILDER THE BOSS HIS HONOR THE MAYOR
KING MAKER AND FAMILY MAN TOO
FROM BRIDGEPORT HE CAME TO WIN POWER AND FAME
AND TO SHOW WHAT CHICAGO CHOULD DO
Music interval
HE BUILT THE EXPRESSWAYS HE TURNED ON THE LIGHTS
HE PERSISTED AND HE ENDURED
HE BALANCED THE BUDGET AND HE WON THE FIGHTS
THE CONCRETE AND STEEL WERE POURED
FAREWELL DEAR FRIEND YOU SURE WILL BE MISSED
BUT YOUR SPRIT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
FOR EV - ( ) - OF COURGE AND CAREING YOUR PRESENCE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
