“When I moved to New York City I had $7, which I immediately spent at White Castle. Then for weeks I wandered the streets looking for a job, with those roasted peanut carts wringing my guts out block by goddam block. Finally I'd had enough and was gonna give up for good when for some reason I walked into the old Tower Records on 42nd street, where on a huge screen the video for ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ kicked off right when I walked through the door as if it had been waiting for me. The timing was perfect; I WAS that guy walking down the street. It was the moment I realized I belonged in the city. It was the moment of my life. And I'll never forget it.”
I’m sure I’ll spend time tomorrow digging up old posts and being weepy.
