This show struck a part of me that hasn't been out in a while.
Seeing all the graff, the rubble, the old days (although I'm in the 80's era,) really struck a side of me that hasn't been out in a while. I'm usually one of those people who hates reminiscing stuff simply because "it's over." But this show reminded me of my adolescent days in the Lower East Side and The Bronx. It was so magical during those times. It was weird because what it was, would now be considered "trash," but it felt like it had more soul than anything that exists now.
I feel emotional just thinking about this show and remembering the old days. I'm in a documentary about an arcade in Chinatown, NYC (The Lost Arcade,) I talk about how I missed the grime, the no *beep* given (but still somewhat given) attitudes of everyone. It was just authenticity at it's finest. I rather not complain about how it is now, but I do miss climbing fire escapes and transforming someones plain old looking brick walls or going into train tunnels.
Anyway, what a good show. If anyone had experiences like me, raise your hands and speak up. Peace.
