Christmas in Linken Park Chicago
We interviewed the Dozen’s Players Madd and Dog2020 better
known as Maddog 2020 aka MD2020 to learn more about this unique version of the classic
Dickens A Christmas Carol. We found them
in a quiet cafe in the Bottoms on Rome Avenue away from the hustle and bustle
of 125th Street and Obama Avenue.
We: It’s so nice to meet you two colorful characters.
MD2020: It would have been nicer to meet you if you had been
Oprah. Our Agent said we was going to be on Oprah!
We: Well she couldn’t make it.
MD2020: That’s all
right. You got an Oprah sized check in your pocket?
We: I’m paying for dinner.
MD2020: In this greasy spoon dinner ain’t but five bucks all
you can eat. Look a here, this chicken wing still got the feathers on it.
We: (Laughs) So tell our readers why The Bottoms is such a
unique Christmas tale.
MD2020: Well it’s got us, the finest yo Mama smack talkin’ dozens
players in the country.
We: That’s very unique indeed. I don’t think the original story had any
dozens players.
MD2020: But it also got the traditional Scrooge like
character and a Bob Crutchet and them dreams. Them dreams are something else.
Numbers Runners love them dreams.
We: I understand you two tell a story of almost getting
lynched in a place called Mud Turtle Mississippi. Can you elaborate more on
that? How does that fit into a Christmas story?
MD2020: It fits into a Black Folks Christmas story very
nicely. Your stingy butt readers need to buy a copy.
We: Thank you so much Madd and Dog2020. This concludes our
interview.
MD2020: Sure does. My drumstick just jumped off my plate is
trying to start a fight with a catfish fillet.
Christmas In The Bottoms is coming soon. In the meantime check out these other stories for your Kindle, Nook, or Ipad.
