How 'Bout You?

There are no pictures in this post — just a story. And a video!

I was walking across East 7th Street this past Friday evening, on my way home from work, when I heard an East Villager near me say:

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?

Could it be, I thought to myself? Is he singing "Free Bird", the most requested song in the history of song requests?

I listened closer.

For I must be traveling on, now
Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

He was! He was singing "Free Bird"!

East Villagers are free birds, themselves. Recently, the alpha hawk of Tompkins Square Park has been three-timing it with a couple of younger hawks. You could say he's a free bird too!

So this is for all the East Village free birds:
