You know I am one of those people (actually I have not met anyone - TopicsExpress



          

You know I am one of those people (actually I have not met anyone else but I imagine they are out there) who is not completely sold anymore on New York City. So I am excited about this publication because it does bring back some of that romance I had with the city when I was a youngster. When I was younger I was completely enamored by some of the romantic ideas I had about New York City and they revolved around art, writing and music - The Beats, Jasper Johns and Rauschenberg, Duchamp, Stieglitz and Andy and Eddie and the factory crowd, The Chelsea Hotel, Leonard Cohen and the New York Dolls, Television, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Patty Smith Band, The Ramones, CBGBs and the beginnings of Punk, The Stonewall riots and the gay movement, John and Yoko and the slick vibe of the 80s. This book brings it down to human level and makes the city seem charming once again for me. humansofnewyork/
