HARLEY

 






Anyway, he took out his guitar and played me one of his songs. I wish I could say that it sucked, that it was as pretentious and self-absorbed as he is. But it was beautiful, a simple tune about riding his motorcycle upstate through these little farms he sometimes dreams of living on.

Then we went back to his place on Avenue C which gets me to our final topic with regard to Boy Number Two:

Two nights later I met Boy Number Two on the street near the dank space where his band rehearses.

Neither of us were hungry so we just decided to get a couple of 40-ouncers and "hang out" in a park in Little Italy not so far from John Gotti's infamous social club.

We drank the beer and Tommy talked about himself mostly, about his band, about how his music was evolving from what he termed country-art-rock into something he termed alternative-folk-noise.
