Re: babel-digest V11 #236

[Harold Appel <haroldappel>]

Don't get me started. I saw Dylan in NYC a few years a go play a  
version of his song Silvio that was amazing, really powerful; really  
loud but I wanted it louder; layers of rhythm; real rock and roll, a  
wall of sound but (not like Phil Spector), sort of Dylan pays like he  
was the Rolling Stones; I obviously can't describe it but I wished it  
would never end. Gives me chills just thinking about it. But....
There was the Stones at Altamont-I missed them but was there and  
heard alot; there was the time I rode the elevator in my building  
with one of the Ramones (their manager lived there); passing Allen  
Ginsberg in the door to the St. Marks Church-But the moment that was  
the best: The Lower Manhattan Ocean Club in the 70's, I'm eating out  
and my girlfriend sees Patti and some friends eating dinner there and  
goes up to her and says: "Patti I know this is gauche but would you  
sign this?" (a cigarette package wrapper which I still have which she  
signed "Radio Ethiopium") and when I asked her last year, my friend  
doesn't remember this anymore....
