Remember when you saw graffiti everywhere across our country? New York was covered with it, especially the subways. Even in the hinterland, highway walls and bridges were spray-painted in bright, primary colors with that distinctive aerosol art motif. Well, sadly, this vulgar piece of American pop culture has gone global. Charlie Leocha has some theories why.
