Sinister: I Like Edie Sedgwick's Earrings.

[Wise, Terri]

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
