I don’t know that the guy yelling at me was a freak, but I did keep my head down and continued walking at a brisk New York pace all the way to the subway entrance. And as I walked I was reminded of one last song, Lou Reed’s ‘I’m Waiting for the Man’, which asks another question: ‘Hey, white boy what you doin’ uptown?’ Walking a songline is not the answer anybody would expect or, I’m sure, accept.

6. A Man Walks Into a Bar

New York, the Shape of the City, Down Among the Psychogeographers and Mixologists

Provincial American cities evoke in me a terrible feeling of desolation as evening falls and the citizenry retires to home, hearth, peevish wife and importunate children. Whereas in Manhattan at any hour of the night one can step into the street and encounter a werewolf or at least a derelict who will vomit on one’s shoes.
