Fresh Fruit's "Dorchester"

Fearless and brilliant, if not always antiseptically P.C., the group of artists who call themselves Fresh Fruit examine the subtleties of living in Dorchester in their marvelous video, "Dorchester":

	In the magnificent panoramic opening shot, the Dorchester version of The Sound of Music's Julie Andrews spins around, radiating happiness -- against a backdrop of a gas station and an oncoming firetruck, whose driver doesn't seem to know what to make of her.
	"The boys may have moved and rehabbed Dorchester..."
	Her turn in front of the inexplicably named "Lower Light Gospel Center" is not to be missed.
	"Those silly gay boys can buy all the houses they want They can live behind gates They can try as they might, but it won't change the fact That next door is Section 8"
	"It's great cardio to dodge bullets on Bowdoin Street." Fascinating Fresh Fruit's "Dorchester" behind-the-scenes trivia: the street depicted as Bowdoin Street in the video is actually Bakersfield Street, on my winter jogging route.
	"The 80's called, they want their hair back." - "Boston Common Girl"
	Having completed the Ebonics lesson, the student harasses a black man, who gives him money to go away. - "Ebonics for Beginners"
