Luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
March 14th, 2008 | by Paul |I couldn’t find a public domain picture of the place, so here’s a link to the Old Town School of Folk Music.
It’s a wonderful, community-based school and social center and I’m going there tonight.
I’m not going there because it’s a wonderful 501(c)3 non-profit educational program with long-standing ties to the community. I’m going there because the Magnetic Fields are playing there tonight. I would drive a Hummer to the BP/Amgen/Rumsfeld/Wal-Mart Multiplex (built on the site of the former Yellowstone Park) to see the Magnetic Fields. They rock.
I’m telling you this because I’ve been reading over my last few posts and they’re pretty preachy. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you exactly what I would sell out for.
Stephin Merritt, you rule.
