My intention with this post wasn’t to diss the other writers in Ewok’s video as this came to be interpreted, It was to provide context for the subject, Doves’ “C’mon Son” reference in response to Ewok’s “Ewok Saving New York” slogan. That seems to have gone over people’s heads, but I felt as comfortable siting Ewok’s work here, as he has felt expressing his opinion of ours on other websites in the past.

The comments from the Players, the Haters, the Side Liners and the Sidewinders though appreciated and sometimes on point, were deleted if anonymous. If you are a writer, and want to comment, sign your name to it like COPE, SKUF and JEE have, or Spot who emailed me directly and asked me to edit for clarity.

 

Remember back when STET said something along the lines of “... when you talk alot, you get told to STEP OFF alot”? Well this here is one of those situations.

Recently I was made aware of Ewok’s “Ewok Saving New York” video campaign. I thought “Saving New York”, huh? Whoever would make that bold of a self proclaimed statement must surely be a style master coming extra, extra correct to the walls. I thought for sure that I would see a video about VFR, crushing the streets or YES2 dropping burners on the street like it was 93. Once I watched the video, though, like many other writers in NYC (who might not be willing to admit it) I’m sure, I had to laugh.

Without digging too deep into the multitude of writers who have REALLY burned in New York, you need just refer back a week or so to the recent Tuff City Blog posts about the “CES vs BIO Battle” and “Bronx Battle Royale” to get an idea of just how unfounded, delusional and poorly timed the “Ewok Saving New York” nonsense is.

This weekend in Brooklyn DOVES FC, an actual New Yorker, painted his response to the ridiculous claim, with some REAL NYC flavor and twist of ‘hood humor to boot.

I hear it’s ruffling feathers already.
