To Kill A Mockingbird

Remember when you were young, and human.

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, to say the least, is a wonderful read. A view of humanity through innocent eyes, seeing not, the artificial barrier of class and discrimination. She wrote with simple words on issues that transcended through time, almost a century on now, and yet still relevant.

Relevant like clothes that we wear. Saw my fren in his t-shirt of the punk-music-label Atticus, and below it, a picture of a bird lying down, feet up. Certainly looks like the Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird to me. I wonder how many punks wearing those shirts knows the underlying significance of what they wore.
