"The Hoboken Chickn Emergency," is perhaps, one of the greatest exercises in surrealism since Salvador Dali's "Un Chien Andalou". The symbolism denoted by the chicken is at the same time nostalgic for a simple, more agricultural time, and characteristic of a new, more frantic lifestyle. The concept of the "emergency", has it's roots in the 1903 film, Edwin S. Porter's "The Life of an American Fireman".
The recalling of such cinematic classics as these surely puts "The Hoboken Chicken Emergency" in a class far above similar efforts.
Truly an American masterpiece.
