Well, this isn't just a brag - it says a lot about what you do with your life.

Years went by when I almost never went north of Union Square. It was because I worked in Chelsea, but much more, I was very strongly focused on underground music and art, which to a first order approximation all goes on within a mile of the L train.

The one uptown place I went to regularly over the decades was Symphony Space, but when W reduced the number of artist visas dramatically, it slashed the number of Indian classical musicians who would play there, and I lost the habit.

It's important to remember when we're talking about actual monsters like W and Trump that it isn't just a few crimes that make them monstrous - they are fractally evil, they exhibit evil at all levels of detail. W is the sort of person who is very willing to take a few minutes out of his busy day of war crimes to block Americans from seeing non-American music.

I am not a theist at all, and I can't really understand it, but I do see the attraction of Hell.
