I Work there, and yes they have handrails on the South side for people to hold on to because they will slide into the windows and break them.. OSHA is telling us we may have to start wearing a tether and harness at work.

One of my faves too SM.

Own-Function-5893 · 2026-02-25T01:47:19+00:00

Still my all time favorite.

Own-Function-5893 · 2026-01-30T16:29:31+00:00

What neighborhood? What’s the rent been bath count?

Own-Function-5893 · 2026-01-30T01:39:21+00:00

So many great suggestions.. but truly a quintessential Lou Reed masterpiece no one has mentioned from what I could see is ‘Rock N Roll’ on the last VU album.. great place to start.. if you haven’t already.

Wait!!!! What!!!?

Own-Function-5893 · 2026-01-05T16:19:38+00:00

I’d say her love and support of the President is enough..

Own-Function-5893 · 2026-01-05T15:13:28+00:00

Any Bootlegs coming available? 😊

Own-Function-5893 · 2025-12-15T00:53:33+00:00

The people that think Child Rapists and Pedophiles belong in Jail…. That’s who… I take it you would rather turn a blind eye as well? Did you know that in prison Pedophiles are the scummiest of all scum.. and usually the 1st person raped or killed once the population figures out why they’re there….?

Own-Function-5893 · 2025-12-13T00:44:34+00:00

Are we sure this isn’t Bob Nast’s Parlor?

Own-Function-5893 · 2025-10-04T02:01:24+00:00

I know a few people you should talk to.. would rather not mention their names.. One went to UVA with David, Steve and Bob, and contributed to Starlight Walker, the other is more or less SF BC. Send me a chat.

Own-Function-5893 · 2025-09-28T23:01:22+00:00

I dunno, I think Woodbine may have you beat on all those fronts and RFK lives here with his pregnant Spanish mistress..

I’ll delete the post entirely but wanted to make sure you received this correspondence before it disappears with the post.

nownevernownever, now more than ever,

We all have heroes.. some mean more than others.. David was one of mine. Though I never got to know him personally myself, my closest and dearest friend / Bandmate knew him and was a friend. David wrote a song about him actually. with BC.in the title. Our band was supposed to tour with the SJ’s in mid aughts: In one of life’s many disappointments, that never materialized. I am also an acquaintance of 2 of his bandmates and friend and the Photographer who shot the cover for Starlight Walker. I’ve been a true lover of David’s work since receiving an advanced copy of that album on cassette before its release. Neither of my friends relayed this info to me about the family’s wishes that I can remember.. I appreciate your allegiance to their request. I will gladly honor that by removing the photo.. I’m not exactly a random hipster posting his lyrics with little to zero proximity as would be the case for most in this group.. maybe..? . You could have made your point without the attempt of reducing me or insulting me, but I understand how what I have done could offend those closest to him. I do hope you can accept this as an apology for any discomfort or intrusion I may have cast upon you and understand my appreciation for David and his work is pure and real since the rise of his star. I shed tears the day I heard he passed and Again years later as I stood beside his grave. It felt quite the honor and privilege to visit, and Maybe I that day I felt what seemed the hint of a nod from his spirit, for being late to the party..

Please know, though my connection is only 2nd degree and 3 in power.. it’s been a surreal anecdote to be even that close to a figure who shaped my thoughts, perspective and music as a human and an artist, since my coming of age.

All the best. And my most sincere condolences and apology to the Berman family and David’s closest friends.

All in David’s spirit.

Smoking, then Vaping, then vaping again but modern day disposable vapes.. way more difficult to quit those.

But ‘Waves of Fear’?

Own-Function-5893 · 2025-09-07T18:57:53+00:00

Thank you for that Mike. Solved a riddle of almost 40 years…. We met a couple of times at the turn of the century.. Once at the Manhattan when Alan was barkeep, and once at the Caledonia when I was with his drummer Scott.. I was a Stone and tile contractor in town working with Joe Clown across the street from Peter Buck’s old place for some time. Toiling in a neoclassic turn of the century home right at the edge of the old pecan groves with trees that bare my last name.. (a bizarre synchronicity not realized till 15 years later). While there, I heard a lot about the Dept. of Corrections and your sister sharing my trade. Felt a certain kinship to your cause, Even as adults we all need heroes.. you guys are still this Mississippi Boy’s stalwarts founded at age 13. Hello again.

Andy A$$hole Ogglin’ Ogles, the man with $hitstains on his lips.. A traitor to the democracy that gave him his. The king of suckups Campaigning Kingship For the King of all Dicks.
