My problem tonight was how Ryan claims he came from a humble background... [View all]
Comparing his being raised in a fairly affluent small town,Janesville, WI, within 50 or so miles from Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago with being born in what can only be called hardscrabble Scranton, PA is just ludicrous.
Joe is the son of a Blue collar family while Ryan's dad was a successful attorney.
Ryan as born and raised deep in the bosom of suburbia while Joe B. was born into a fading blue collar small town just northwest enough to not be in Philly or NYC's SMA. He did come of age in Allentown, the place Billy Joel wrote a song about how hard it was to live there when all the mills and shops disappeared.
Maybe someone could write a little ditty about the trails and tribulation of walking the mean streets of Janesville.
Cause I'm living here Janesville, WI
And all I do is watch the world go by.
Hunkering down In a nice colonial
Live is so hard I just don't know where to go
To the Tasty Freeze or Hardies, Hardies, Hardies...
Well they opened up a big new Wall mart
And I saluted them for being so smart
Cause I can see all the parents of the poor kids in town
As they greet me at the door with nary a frown.
