Ya got trouble, right here in River City
KAMLOOPS — As I watched last week’s city council meeting, I couldn’t help but think of the old Broadway play, Music Man. It’s a humorous musical about the arrival of a pool hall in conservative small-town America. The innocent and perhaps misguided townspeople are led to believe that this pool hall will be the corrupter of their children. In fact their idyllic town, which is coincidentally called River City, may not survive the resulting sin that is surely to arrive at their doorstep?
“Friend, either you’re closing your eyes
To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the calibre of disaster indicated
