ROCKSTARS WITH CATS! (AND HORSES, AND ONE BUNNY)
“The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don't buy love for nothing.” William Burroughs
STEVE HARRIS: THE PLEASE KILL ME INTERVIEW!
This is PART 1 of an interview Legs did in 1994 with Steve Harris, former VP at Elektra. Steve has one of my favorite quotes in Please Kill Me: "I was a big supporter of Iggy's everywhere." In this interview, The Doors get huge. Danny Fields gets hired by Elektra. John Sinclair gets busted. Gloria Stavers gets pissed that the death of Martin Luther King takes Jim Morrison off the front pages. This is one of many interviews that are going to be pulled from the PKM archive. - Gillian

VINTAGE DOCUMENTARY ON THE CBGB’S SCENE!
"CBGB in 70's" on You Tube - Live shots of Blondie, The Dead Boys, and The Ramones are featured in this late 70's CBGB's documentary. Even though the commentator has a strange, infomercial voice and the speed is slightly off, the rare footage is intriguing enough to keep watching. The very articulate Ramones manager, Danny Fields describes them as "a great machine that went on time."

STATE HOSPITAL
I was checked in by police officers, and guided into an elevator to the fourth floor. The doors slid open to the clattering of lunch trays and voices talking above each other; a man in the corner, dancing. I was too exhausted to be phased by any of it.
