The Chicago Transit Authority
On track 10 of their 1969 hit debut record album the rock band Chicago, then known as CTA (The Chicago Transit Authority) used what may be a copy of the real audio clip of the crowd chanting, "The whole world is watching." The track called, "Prologue, August 29, 1968" is 57 seconds long. The chant continues into the next song, track eleven, "Someday (August 29, 1968)" but fades away after a few seconds, only to return again in the middle of the song backed by a haunting piano beat and a ride cymbal.

“You want to get Capone? Here’s how you get him: he pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. It’s the Chicago way and that’s how you get Capone.”

“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When the nature of the thing is incomprehensible, I can acquiesce in the Scripture: but when the signification of words is incomprehensible, I cannot acquiesce in the authority of a Schoolman.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
