I doubt it was on this day but it was a day like this, overcast, drizzly, fall day with leaves falling, that I first heard New York Tendaberry and decided that Laura Nyro was a genius with more talent than all of the mopheads, all of the Stones, all of the Doors, Cream, the Beach Boys, etc. put together. Nothing they produced, individually or collectively had the range, the substance or the audacity of this album put out by a 22-year-old. And I still think so.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
