Simon & Garfunkel:
And the sign said:
“The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence.”
Rush:
“For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen…of salesmen…of salesmen.”

The film was taken in San Francisco in 1906. The earthquake happened in April of that year so this must have been filmed just a few months or weeks before the earthquake.
Pretty neat, Chakra. What a crazy free-for-all it must have been to move through the city streets in those times! I wonder if that was Market Street in SF.
Chester Bennington died today at 41. He was the lead singer of Linkin Park, probably the most famous alternative rock/nu metal band of the 2000s - my favorite band from 2001 to 2004, from age 13 to 16. They were such a release for youth angst. I may have outgrown them awhile ago, but their music meant a lot to me at the time. It’s definitely sad to hear about Chester’s early passing.
