(Editor’s note: This update clarifies Cricket’s work in the union and adds a second variant of his ad, featuring a classic photo of teenage Bobo.)
It’s exciting to spot an old friend on a new platform.
Case in point: Che Underground scenester Bobo (now living in Florida and traveling under the moniker Cricket), who makes a compelling case for voting his working-class interests in the 2020 election.
“I still work for the city in a sewage treatment facility,” Cricket reports. “I’m the highest-elected union person in the city. but we’re an anarcho-syndicalist unit of a larger local. Purely democratic, no paid positions. Of around 3,500 people in our bargaining group.”
“The commercials are funny and humbling,” he notes with characteristic modesty. Given the opportunity, I’d vote for him!
Thank you Cricket! You do us proud!
