Description The rebellion began quietly.  So quiet that most did not know it started.

First one pair of shoes thrown up in defiance.  Soon another joined in.  Throughout history, it often began this way, small steps one after another.

Now the question arises..

    "Which side are you on?"

Whoa!   There goes another pair.

I would like to hear from you, if you want to join in...

Feel free to download, or put your two cents in (which incidentally is what the American dollar is worth 50 years after President Johnson's (LBJ) administration took the money off the silver standard, allowing the printing of unbacked dollars).

I've seen shoes hanging off trees before, but never  off power cables. I remember a tree in Leith (Edinburgh) that was festooned with all kinds of shoes. Nice juxtaposition with the sign.

Is there a nearby theatre? The shoes are thrown around the line to signify, a successful run, and/or a closing of the show. Pre-dates the druggies.

The only thing nearby are impressionable college students near the IU campus.  The theatre story line is facinating.

This demonstrates how revolutions start, even though it's out of the original context.
Never seen anything like it in real life, must be an american thing  But if someone would do that over here you can be sure that it would soon gather followers!  Sounds like a hypothesis to test...

I really like the DO NOT sign in the capture, that instantly makes one ponder which side to choose.  Am I a rebel or conformist?  

Cheers,
Mark

Once upon a time I launched my heavy rebellion Dr.Martens high boots like this.
It's a pity, somebody stolen my boots three months ago.

that was my original understanding as well.  it sort of labelled where the crack houses were to make a purchase.

yeah its odd how it means something else though i find that interesting and also something that actually means something important  seeing how drugs are a waste of time and money.

I've always wondered why people throw their shoes onto power lines.

I always wondered if the person walked home barefoot, or if they were sneakers brought with them.

Thank you for submitting to .

my bet is this was done on purpose and planned or they grabbed someone else's shoes at the moment, so it didn't matter to them.

I sat on this image for a while, not knowing where it was going.  I chose my side when I posted it.
