Profane Hippie!

 “The worst thing you could be was a sellout, and not because selling out involved money. Selling out meant you needed to be popular, and any explicit desire for approval was enough to prove you were terrible.” – Chuck Klosterman, The Nineties

Profane Hippie!

  Britta and I last saw Tom in December 2018 when I was in New York for a gig. We had a late lunch at an Italian restaurant in Chelsea (he lived nearby), and Tom talked about how the neighborhood had changed. He hated that the ambulances were now equipped with super-bright LED lights that flashed through his fifth-floor windows at night. But his chief gripe was the new sign in Clement Clarke Moore Park on 22nd street, where he liked to sit with a cigarette, now prohibiting  adults except those accompanying children . As such, he had recently been accosted by one mother who told this tall 68-year-old guitar legend that he had to vacate the park. – Dean Wareham,  Encounters With Tom Verlaine,   www.counterpunch.org
