2 FRiCKiN' CENTS: BUSY BODIES PERMIT PATTY AND BBQ BECKY
 usy bodies
have been with us since the dawn of time, I'm sure, but only recently
are they getting called out for their behavior through social media and
just plain media in general. The most recent casualty is a woman known
throughout Twitterdom as PERMIT PATTY who was caught on camera calling
the police on an eight year old black girl selling bottled water
without a permit. Really? PERMIT PATTY's real name is ALISON ETTEL and
she is the CEO of a cannabis tincture company. On micro-level, one who
think she should've taken some her own product and chilled. On a macro
level, cannabis is still illegal on a Federal level and the act of this
woman calling the police over such something as silly as a permit fot
selling bottled water brings up issues of gentrification and class and
of course race. it's probably no coincidence that this
happened inthe same city as the whole BBQ BECKY debacle which also
resulted in an intense social media backlash. Before I knew it, that
bitch's picture was everywhere. I look at these two women and
see so many parallels - their size, their righteousness when
it comes to matters of ordinances and their need to play victim when it
all blows up in their face. In this latest edition of 2
FRICKIN CENTS I discuss this phenomenon in my own relaxed and spin a
new song from the band NEVERWONDER who will be featured in an exclusive
interview on ROCKWIRED.COM very soon. MORE
