If you live in north Brooklyn, you’ve seen this man driving around on sunny afternoon blaring oldies from his car stereo: windows down, sunglasses on, head thrown back. Belting out songs and driving in circles, sometimes for hours at a time.
My neighbor, Clinton, tracked him down and interviewed him. A fascinating video that gets exceptionally good around 4:45, where he asks the “young people” to “take care of his neighborhood.”
“Don’t forget that you’re in Brooklyn, and Brooklyn was always a different part of the United States from anyplace else. It was always a unique part of the country and of the city, and I’d like to see it be kept that way.” -Anthony Delia
Saw this dude yesterday!!! He drove around my block like 5 times singing and having the best time ever. See him all the time and it never fails to crack me up.
