Even 1981 seems like the 60's now, do these kind of eccentric and colourful characters still exist today in one place, and more to the point are they allowed too? doubtful in this homogenised and sanitised world we live in, the old days................yes, they really were the best

Just looked up the little girl to see what she's like as an adult, and she's a yoga teacher in the West Village. Has a husband and child, IIRC. Saw a video where she speaks kindly of her mom and upbringing.

Thanks for posting this, dermotiondon! I will watch the whole thing tomorrow; it's getting too late over here now. Check out the documentary I uploaded a couple of days ago about the Chelsea Hotel!

I caught the end of this doc when I recorded Arena's Tales of Rock 'N' Roll programme about Lou Reed's song Walk on The Wild Side 3 years ago.

@TIPTON340 - I think he is still performing. I was in contact with him 5 years ago to see if he had this very clip from the Arena programme all those years back. I think he is in Nashville.

@magnezzeron -- where and what is he doing now?
