"Red Rover" reference in the Village Voice

[HejiraNYC]

Well, it is really just a blip of a reference. And the author of the article (Tom Carson) does not hesitate to stuff his pieces full of obscure references, but I thought his invocation of "Red Rover" and Emma Lazarus really took the cake! His scathing, stream-of-consciousness obituary on Ronald Reagan seems a bit harsh, but is surprisingly luci d and factual. He's a whack job for sure, but he hits frighteningly close to the mark.
