C-D list @ best, trashy stupid girls, i dont see your point. these were the girls who couldnt get in the good clubs. i reconize the name of 2 of the bands, thats it. (the voices are awful, no singing ability). i lived in NY @ this time, & have no memory except i did read about the "plaster casters". (there was one band member who did have some good things to say). the girls were stupid white trash. as we speak they are walking across a parking lot, w/there big bellys wearing sweatpants. they were hicks, end of case. no different than the drunk kids from jersey visiting the EV on memorial day weekend.lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-11006274325946086362013-05-08T22:07:30.139-04:002013-05-08T22:07:30.139-04:00I live in the neighborhood and I worked for the ce...I live in the neighborhood and I worked for the census in 2010.

I wonder often how other New Yorkers in generations to come will dig up the histories of these kinds of cultural sites. For me, the window to a deeper exploration has always been the building, however defaced or modified. But with an empty lot, or replacement tower, what can we use as a starting point? How will future New Yorkers even know something was ever there?

NYC is looking like a cross between hong kong/ mexico city, & the w/the box chainstores: suburbia. i can accept renovating & refinishing those older buildings, but keeping the character. i can even accept the businesses moving, though i dont like that. but to knock them down? what happend to the height rule? that area had zoning laws. new york is losing it, its just another generic world city. im taking a zanex, bye now. lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-47054499178254322572013-05-08T13:31:58.792-04:002013-05-08T13:31:58.792-04:00Fuck all this new shit!
Thank you for posting ...Fuck all this new shit!<br /><br />Thank you for posting 'Groupies'. Thought I had seen all the obscure docs from the 60s but I've never heard of this one. Amazing! Alvin Lee (RIP) is so fucked up.<br /><br />I've said this a million times before but New York in the 60s must've been absolutely amazing. People can criticize that time as being one full of naive, stoned people, but they were having far more fun, and doing far more real things than what young people do today. Regardless of the fact that they were high all the time, it seems to me that at least initially the idea behind drug use (mind expansion) was an intellectual one. Yeah, there was actually some thought behind it. Not condoning drugs here, but that culture had far more to offer in terms of art, literature and media than now. Kids still get fucked up today, but doing it in expensive clothing and sitting in some ridiculous night club with bottle service pales in comparison to watching Ten Years After joyfully lose their shit during one of their performances. Please.
