Though it happens here in the TL too, in Oakland when I lived there, what annoys Woj would annoy me too, at times. One truck I could hear from blocks away blasting away w/ two huge rock concert size speakers installed on a swivel on the back end.
And, though, he didn't appear to be anything but another financial district yuppie greedhead, once on the J Church MUNI line (btw, local power pop-punkers, J-Church are a fun band) I saw a poor black kid about 12 have his boom box smashed by the Montgomery St. $100K petty-b. And I mean both meanings of petty. Damn guy should have apologized and given the kid two tewenties.
