ou could always catch a show featuring nude co-eds in new york. or all coloureds. for 50c you could get a candy apple. funny how the most dire times and areas which seem so scary now are always the most nostalgic.

When I first set eyes on Times Square in 1983, I was shocked to see all the Japanese product signs-Sony, Toyota, Minolta, Suntory, Toshiba, etc. The Cathedral of American commerce had become a mini-Ginza strip! All the American companies had been chased from the signposts of Times Square! Wow! What a memory that was!

Pretty damn cool. I probably woulda slid right in there, as opposed to anywhere now, even if it was dangerous.

A really great short. Had me locked in completely. Hypnotic, ugly and beautiful at once. I wish I could go back.
