(1) On West 4th Street in Manhattan, outside NYU. (In the Village for
those who kinda know NYC)
(2) At another spot in NYC, with a homeless man circling around. I only
heard about this one.
The toast song shows pride. It can be sung anywhere, shown anywhere.
A little tidbit. The reason its called the toast song is because people
used to drink a toast to APO. I found this out from someone who was
involved with APO in the 1960's or 1970's.
