Press Relations 101: How To Win Friends And Influence People
Hi,
For those of you looking for more hi-brow cultural explorations as a follow up to “a certain someone who will go unmentioned here’s” latest foray into reminding everyone that some people are better not being mentioned by name, let me encourage you to forget your worries over “the white population” that “will shrink” as “Mexico is moving north” and read the latest “issue” of Interview Magazine whereupon you will be reminded that “the Indian Summer of our civilization” is in fact filled with people who are either using their “power for good and not for evil…” or just “always wanted to get dressed up and prance around on stage.”
In related news, last night I had the pleasure of performing at a birthday party for the great Bob Gruen. You may remember him from such memorable photos as this one called “Matt Basile performing with Kris Gruen at Bowery Electric”:
He’s also taken some lesser known photos as well. Like this one of an unknown British folk singer from the 70’s.
Anyway, it was really fun to play at R Bar. Nothing says “I’m a classy joint” like a stage with a pair of stripper poles. Gosh, I’m so glad the Bowery hasn’t lost it’s edge.
Mwah!

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. At playing jazz.
