7 fabulous minutes of Warhol superstar, artist and poet Taylor Mead remembering Jackie Curtis, Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn hanging out at Max's Kansas City and getting beat up just because he was gay in the late 1960s - filmed in 2003 for my doc "Superstar in a Housedress".

  • The original Max's is still there. Albeit it's a deli now. Walk to the the back of the deli and that's the famous back room. The layout of the deli is the same as the original restaurant. Upstairs where the bands played is now a private residence.

  • Max's is one of the places I wish would have lasted forever. It astonishes me that so many beloved places have such a brief lifetime. At least Jackie's grandmother's bar "Slugger Ann's" is now a gay bar called "Dicks" and the actual bar is the very same one of the past!

  • Craig,

    thank you so much for digging into your archives. I knew you had some outtakes somewhere. Taylor is so interesting and probably one of the funniest superstar.

    Thanks for sharing your work.

  • I knew you would enjoy seeing this. I adore Taylor. It's marvelous he is still doing poetry readings and thanks for posting your videos they are marvelous!

  • I remember Taylor in my first apartment in the Village. He thought my wallpaper was extremely tacky, which it probably was.

  • I have known taylor for the last 20 years... trades a bit too much on that Warhol Factory thing (free drinks) like most if not all of them... wish he would tell his stories on how Andy never carried a bit of money on him, always borrowing and never paying anyone back...

  • Honey they still are. Hate crimes against gays even rose last year.

  • I'm a straight man and that story Taylor tells about getting beat up made my blood boil. Why wouldn't anyone help the guy? Were people really that afraid of homosexuals?

  • I lived next to Taylor for about 7 years during the 1980s on Ludlow St. and fed his cats., especially his big tomcat, Cincinnati. Taylor was so self-effacing, but I remember him coming home ripping drunk one night about 3 a.m., screaming lines from Macbeth, trying unsuccessfully to open his front door. Downstairs lived Dean Johnson and below him writer Maggie Estep. Memories. Hi Taylor!

  • I love the idea of Jackie with a Mona Lisa smile. :)

  • Taylor Meade is the BEST. Seems like such a sweet man and a tribute to gay men!!!

  • do u sell dvd's of all this fun stuff?
