		Life in the park is daily warfare with rival gangs, police raids, the wealthy decadents who now come for drugs and the ongoing demons of addiction.
		But Billy Wirth's "MacArthur Park" has an amazing ensemble led by underrated and underused Thomas Jefferson Byrd (good cineasts will recognize him from several Spike Lee joints, such as "Clockers", "Get on the Bus", "He Got Game" and his best role yet, prior to this film, in the overlooked and oft-misunderstood "Bamboozled").
		The story is a disturbing but documentary like account of 48 hours in the life of homeless drug addicts and dealers and the people who float in and out of their orbit in LA's MacArthur Park.

	MacArthur Park: What's It All About, Jimmy
		Nick, my DJ, always refers to Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park as the "world's most misunderstood song." Since I certainly don't understand the lyric, I decided to see what I could find out about the song on the Web.
		The song has been ridiculed as classic '60s excess because of the overblown orchestra of the original version and the song's strange lyric--that troublesome metaphor of the cake in the rain, etc. Columnist Dave Barry named it the worst song in history, or something like that, a few years ago.
		Songwriter Jimmy Webb says he realizes that his song "MacArthur Park" -- which was a No 2 hit for actor Richard Harris back in 1968 -- is one of those songs that you either love or hate -- and admits that some of the lyrics even make HIM cringe.

		MACARTHUR PARK is the story of the homeless and strung out drug addicts that inhabit a once family entertainment recreation park on the outskirts of Downtown Los Angeles on Wilshire Blvd. Dealers and junkies call this place home always just one step ahead of the law.
		MACARTHUR PARK is based on the true story of writer Tyrone Atkins whose script fell into the hands of actor/director Billy Wirth while the fledgling filmmaker was shooting documentary footage on the homeless in MacArthur Park.
		A friend of Atkins handed the script to Wirth from underneath a mattress in an abandoned building whilst he sat in prison.
