"Down and Out in Paris and London" by George Orwell ...published in 1933, it is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities.
I prefer more upbeat accounts of the 20s and 30s ...you know.... not about living on the wrong side of the tracks, tramps and all that .. but...
My favorite saying? I don't know...
this one, which is very common.......... sometimes truth is found in common things
"It Is What It Is"
ain't that the truth too
Great song! Thank you for posting!
