Where did PUNK go; where does PUNK go (thats' Edie in the time


It's cold out today. Have me scarf on. No car, so I'm walking, about the only one. All the cars passing seem surreal. I don't really know anyone with a car; all those years in new york, basically, to day would be a lovely day to sit at the bar (MARSBAR for us, second avenue and first street) but I don't drink any more. Always my memory of the lower east side, empty and bleak, desolate as they say, during week days. A lot of people I knew left around or by 89 or so and for some reason I stayed, hoping for some break through, showing my paintings where I could. Retrospectively, the music hangs in great:

and this one (I've read this one:

and this active yahoo club:

but there was, or was an attraction, vis-vee literature and art.
actually, I was about to complain and sliped over to the moma site: http://moma.org/ and, Fasbinder in restoration and "comic abstraction", (Jeff Wall...threatens me..) and then, here waiyting for the library, that pathtioc andy moment, eddie sedgwick in the time, miovie retrospective..always miss those; you wonder...mainstreem punk; institutionalised punk; punk nostalgia Edie was like instant nostalgia. http://www.warholstars.org/indfoto/iedie.html Just like that. Here, Neil Simon down the street, and fancy cars parked. "god loves me" is the titles; I didn't go.I think I'm fixated on them. Big cars. We'll get to cars latter as I grew up around cars, race cars and, I don't own a car.
