jerrysaltz Today marks the 45th anniversary of John Lennon’s murder.
I wrote this for the Village Voice in 1999. It is about the time I saw John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Madison Avenue.
Share any close encounters, here please.
451.rhawn.gallery After work, late 1982/early 1983, as I'm approaching the subway entrance at Broad and Walnut, I look up and Andy Gibb was 15 feet in front of me, walking towards me and already looking at me. We kept eye contact pretty much until we passed each other. I can't say that I had any striking resemblance to Andy Gibb, but I did resemble my older brother, who, at 16 years old in 1969, had a striking resemblance to Barry Gibb as pictured on the 1969 BEST OF THE BEE GEES album cover. It was already in the news that things were going downhill for Andy Gibb at the time when we looked at each other.

Thesis: Segregation
Story goes, if a woman alone enters the bar/pub via the 'ladies entrance' then she does not want to be 'hit on', whereas, if a woman alone entered the bar/pub via the main entrance, then she's 'fair game'.
I went to a sexually segregated (although racially integrated, 65% white, 35% black) High School--huge place, boy's side/girl's side, combined student body over 6100 while I was there in the early 1970s; cracks in the [gender] segregation started then, some co-ed math and religion classes and a couple weeks of co-ed phys-ed--square dancing of all things! The halls between classes were literally packed wall to wall--it was like baby-boom in the flesh.

Latest addition to the Working Title Museum:
The nice thing about virtual books is that they can morph so easily. For example, Infinite Ways to Stuff Stuff could just as well be How to Turn Every Corner of Your House into an Art Installation.
