Wazmatazz!
Today Monz is lunching on a turkey sandwich. Apparently we understated the specialness of these turkey sandwiches, as they are handmade by Monz using fresh whole grain bread, quality not-so-big-chain turkey and other wholesome ingredients. And the apple is reportedly spectacular. Nontheless, we exhorted the Monz to try one of the current specials at the Editors' Choice (see link on right). Now when you are talking to one so well-read, well-versed and well-opined as the Monz, you never know where the conversation will lead. In this case it lead to a discussion of the American labor movement and Wazmo Nariz. Waz Who?!?! Back in the heydey of Chicago's first indie scene, when names like Bohemia and the Slammin' Watusis made an impression on those of us who were impressionable, Waz was a hot property and had a demi-semi hit with "Checking Out the Checkout Girl." Today he is best remembered for his fashion gimick of wearing two neckties. Longtime readers will know which party knew their dead union mobsters and which knew their local music giantettes.
