"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Afternoon Art

Free South Africa, By Keith Haring (1985)

Keith Haring used to have a boutique just south of Houston Street called The Pop Shop. I remember they used to sell enormous versions of this poster for a buck (man, I should have bought a dozen of ’em). I had one hanging in my room, which made for stimulating conversation with my mother who was raised in the Belgian Congo. Picture me, the young, know-it-all New York Liberal vs an apolitical mother who was raised by Colonialists. We could have guest starred on Piper’s Pit.

Still, the picture endures…

Haring is awesome, love him.

as per Feinsand's twitter:

A-Rod has tendinitis of his hip flexor tendon. Girardi says it's not related to the labrum surgery he had last year

Most often, a hip flexor strain can be confused with a groin strain (adductor strain). This is because the athlete will have pain on the anterior- medial hip. One differentiating factor is adductor strains cause pain with lateral movements (cutting), and hip flexor strains do not. It is possible to involve both muscle groups in an injury though. A quad strain will also present with symptoms similar to a hip flexor strain.
