Great set so far. Todd Haynes is one of my all-time faves. He was such a gracious guest at the various events I met him at University of North Texas and in Dallas, geez, last century. The split-screens and nonmatching music over vintage footage in the VU movie reminds me of Todd's direction in The Karen Carpenter Story. Looking forward to TOPT's always insightful discussion with him.

I'd swear I read a thing with Lou where he said people didn't even realize what a loss breaking up the Lennon-McCartney writing partnership was. As a Songwriter - not hard to imagine Lou having that perspective. In the actual 60s when both bands were going concerns - more likely everybody wanted to make claims for their own unique islands... Other things where Lou said Lennon only sometimes seemed relevant as a Writer to him - but one or two things very much so...

“We drink
Or break open
Our veins
Solely to know
Solely to know
Solely to know

Hunger
Drives me onward
To feel
All of the skin
All of the skin
All of the skin

The thrill
Of the knowing
Has me
Out of my brain
I want to know
I want to know…”

@Mr C: Very close...New Providence, then Berkely Heights. I was too young to go that gig, but I got scared plenty at CBGB's to make up for it.
