Does anyone else know about that Kingston Trio song where the guy gets trapped indefinitely on the Boston subway because he’s short five cents and he survives on sandwiches that his wife throws through the windows of the subway cars

I found it.

WHY doesn’t his wife just put a nickel in one of the sandwiches? WHY???

It's a political song not a free of plotholes song

Hi, our Boston subway cards are actually called CharlieCards because of that old story. I’ve never heard this song before though, just the charlie lore

That is wonderful.

Obviously his wife never put a nickel in the sandwich because clearly, she didn't miss him all that much! We used to sing this song in elementary school chorus. (I grew up near Boston)

Ah, culture!
