The pick of Isabelle on the Arab Strap insert is very Edie Sedgwick - esque. Edie Sedgwick did indeed have troubled later years, and earlier years, too! She died of a drug overdose after years of abusing all kinds of drugs... and before that she had a strange relationship with her father and I believe lost a very close relative along the way. Wish I had more time to chat on this! The book is still in print - look for it. It's by Jean Stein and George Plimpton and it's entirely made up of pieces of interviews with people who knew Edie at various stages in her life. It's considered a modern biographical classic because of its innovative format.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I was really going to make an effort to write more often to this here mailing list. It was a couple of weeks ago, and I told myself that I was going to write each day this week. Of course I never did. I....did something else instead. Days keep slipping by, and wait, only three days till our heroes will grace these American shores. Perfect time of year for all of this. The leaves are falling, the nights are getting cooler. Everything is starting to make a bit more sense. Things are coming into focus after the hot and hazy summer. And I was stacking firewood this evening, which as much as I'd hate to admit it, always puts me in a good mood. Does that make me 'simple'? So, yes, Edie Sedgwick. This all ties together somewhere. I got dragged to New York City yesterday, to go to the Whitney Museum to see some exhibit of some artist who I can't remember but was very good. Very big bold paintings. Lots of emotion. Anyway, they were also showing a film of Andy Warhol, "Outer and Inner Space". So I got to stare at four images of Edie Sedgwick for half an hour. At one point it struck me that she reminded me of our very own Isobelle. Maybe its just the hair cut. And Edie was wearing these really big earrings. They were wonderful. But I seem to remember that Edie was a bit of a mess in her later years. Didn't the Cult write a song about her? For all those coming in for the New York show on Sunday, maybe you can catch the film before the meet-up. There are showings at 11.30, 12.45, 2, 3.15, and 4.30. No shows Monday or Tuesday it seems, though. On Madison, at 75th street. Not sure if I'll be able to make the meet up. I think my little group will be drinking somewhere special. To let everybody know, this is Todd's last night out on the town, since he will be moving to The South. In the spirit of the UK after show club happenings, we were thinking of taking our little group of friends to this place called SHOUT! Never been myself, but its supposed to be a club in the 60's pop/soul vein. Its quite possible that it might be filled with pretentious neo-mods. If so, I'm sure a throng of hyped-up(possibly tipsy) Belle and Sebastian fans can out-class any pretentious neo-mod. And I'm sure we can out do them on the dance floor. We've all got SOUL. But just in case I'll bring a few extra Ben Shermans, if anybody needs help getting in the door. Some friends of mine, (including the infamous Todd) will be making a bit of a road trip to take in the Boston and Philly shows. I got my badge(or button as we Americans call it. A badge is something boy scouts get.) and my t-shirt all ready. I'll be the rather tall boy with red hair. And I'll probably be smiling. Ready, Set, Who!!!!....I mean Go! For those still reading, thank you. I'll save my mishearings and questions for some other time. love Carrick "I hand over my mouth...." -____________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
