Feeling The Bern at Manitoba's

People usually associate punk-rock music with right-wing politics, and with one notable exception, they're right!

This is why East Villagers were surprised to see signs advertising a fund raiser for Bernie Sanders held at the beloved Manitoba's, on Avenue B:

Fundraiser for Bernie Sanders at Manitoba's.

Manitoba's is owned by Handsome Dick Manitoba, who was in the punk-rock band The Dictators.

I wonder if anyone went? East Villagers are notoriously right-wing in their politics!

    Handsome Dick is not right wing, although Ross The Boss certainly is.

      Yeah, that's what I was saying — he must not be! Did you go to this event?

    "East Villagers are notoriously right-wing in their politics!"

    Do your homework. The EV is historically a counter-cultural, leftist stronghold.

      The East Village, historically, did not exist — but between Ukrainians and anarchists, I don't see your point!
