May 17, 1963: A view of sleepy Staten Island and “The Bridge — the $325,000,000 Verrazano-Narrows span, which will join Fort Wadsworth on the island with Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn when it is completed.” The booming growth of the island chagrined some, who “gloomily forecast intolerable overcrowding of schools, stores, living space and roads. They are less sanguine than the enthusiasts about the solution of such problems as lack of sewers, of final mapping and paving of streets and of ‘City Hall red tape’ that discourages prospective industrial development.” Photo: Patrick J.

“Night Rally,“ Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Cologne, Germany, June 15, 1978

I would send out for assistance but there’s someone on the signal wire
And the corporation logo is flashing on and off in the sky
They’re putting all your names in the forbidden book
I know what they’re doing but I don’t want to look

You think they’re so dumb, you think they’re so funny
Wait until they’ve got you running to the
Night rally, night rally, night rally

Everybody’s singing with their hand on their heart, about deeds done in the darkest hours
That’s just the sort of catchy little melody to get you singing in the showers

Oh, I know that I’m ungrateful, I’ve got it
Lying on a plate and I’m not
Buying my share of souvenirs
You can stand to attention, you can
Pray to your uncle
Only get that chicken out of here
Everyone gets armbands and 3-D glasses
Some are in the back room and they’re taking those night classes

You think they’re so dumb, you think they’re so funny
Wait until they’ve got you running to the
Night rally, night rally, night rally
