Street Kids
Just watched The Basketball Diaries.
Street kids: like i did, grew up with peers who are dysfunctional. but i had parents to rebel against. who did they rebel against? the police, the church, the dealer? all of these people are natural enemies. i thought that you needed an unnatural enemy, one who represents your possible future, whose performance in life you wish to outdo tenfold. the motivator.
yet, the survival instinct is keener in these seemingly rootless proteges of Howard Marks.
where does a street kid get their motivation from? if it is Howard, how can something so strong be derived solely from folklore?
