If you haven't heard Google Google Apps Apps yet, you are missing out. Local drag queen Miss Persia and multimedia performance art collective Daddie$ Pla$tik exploded on to the scene with this addictive anti-gentrification anthem only a week ago when they release their video, which is going viral, and getting written up in Italian and Hungarian! In this interview we talk politics, pop, and poverty, as well as gentrification's impact on their SF/Oakland neighborhoods. Tune in next week for part two in which we discuss wanting to be white. Highlights include:
  • how they pay the bills,
  • how much it costs to live in a "mud room" in SF,
  • and why they wrote the song Google Google Apps Apps.
