[Rescue Muni] Nothing changes...

I discovered two gems from Herb Caen's column in 1978 that prove that
nothing ever really changes.

(sung to the tune of Camptown Races)
Oh, the N street car runs all day long - Judah! Judah!
The N street line is nine miles long, all the Judah day.
Gonna build new tracks! New cars on the way!
Paid my money, got my fast pass now, guess I'll ride on the K.
(May 31, 1978)

And the less optimistic rebuttal:

Oh, the N street car broke down again - Judah! Judah!
Deferred maintenance struck again on Muni's right-of-way.
Waiting here all morn, might be here all day.
Here's one now, it's packed to the roof - guess I'll drive today!
(June 6, 1978)
