Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

Nice cover. Could have used it for a Mod party. Too late for that, nonetheless: thank you, LG.
Too late for that?
No way!
If Lex is in the room it is always a Mod party, baby!

I listen to mostly Northern Soul and Power Pop (The Jam and such) but there’s not a scene anymore where I live: the younger generation has been too ingulfed in drugs, ‘streetlife’ violence and other drop-out activities – «done too much, much too young» – to survive themselves. And as you know, it’s from a generation to another that you pass the Faith. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, a new revival will come and a new generation will rise, hopefully also dedicated to know what were mods before them and not just listening to their Blur/Oasis of the moment.
Ciao. KTF.
