This film is the most beautifully rendered NYC 'Subway Culture' documentary I've seen on YouTube. Thank you for posting it, Blaxipad. Visually gorgeous, great music - it totally captured the mood and feel of the time. It took me back to a more innocent time which, despite tremendous hardship, created and nurtured a generation of artistic talent and pop-culture.

yes, I can still remember riding those old school subway trains with graffiti when I was a baby.

Brings back memories! The music collages are outstanding, from Mingus to Aretha Franklin!

This is when NY was NY and not the Disneyland that it is today.

I'd rather have the safer NY today lol

[abhcvn72]

I agree. But I still like a lot of the things about the old NY.

[Rach84]

I see what you mean. I was just a little kid in NYC in the late 80s, so I don't remember that much at all.

[abhcvn72]

You missed an interesting era.

Unfortunantely, I think it will look like this again one the 'service economy' kicks the bucket. I would be interested in living there when this was made, strangely, but not with what's coming.
