(BroadsideBalladeer) Come Unity CRAZY PLANET BAND 1989 NEWARK COMMUNITY DAY SONG BY VIC SADOT (5 min 00) Free download https://soundcloud.com/broadsideballadeer/come-unity "Come Unity" is a recording of the Crazy Planet Band from a Newark, DE "Community Day" back in the time when there was a popular local movement to preserve some of the most beloved of Main Street places: The State Theater and The DeLuxe Luncheonette. The Copyright on old paper copy of the lyrics says Sept 7, 1989. The song was performed only this one time and never anywhere again. See published lyrics… I have fond memories of the State Theater from when I was a kid. But also from the later era when Dave Bartholomew and Barry Solon introduced more international cinema offerings to the mix, which was fitting for a college town. The Laskaris brothers ran the Deluxe Luncheonette for 50 years. But they never owned the building next door to the State Theater! Many U of D alumni have precious memories of their “hang-out” where a number of them fell in love or met life-long friends. Many "Townie" folk remember the State Theater as the place where they saw their first movie when they were children. Both places are irreplaceable cultural and architectural losses to the town of Newark that will have to live on in our memories only. Whether you were a child growing up in Newark, DE or you were a college student hanging out at "The Greasy Spoon", that part of the landscape was wiped off the map by a man later convicted of defrauding the government and laundering the money into local real estate, and by the U of D planning department. Citizens made a valiant effort, but it was all in vain unless we learned something about our need for “unity” in future struggles for our “community”. Vic
