Summary of Lizzy Goodman's Meet Me in the Bathroom - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 New York was the place where people could escape America and have their own semi-utopic ideal. It was a place where you could find complete artistic freedom. #2 I was obsessed with Martin Scorsese by the time I was fourteen. I had the fantasy that he was my father and my boyfriend. I didn't have any money, but I had nowhere to stay.
I slept on the streets of New York for three nights, and then found a place to stay. #3 The fantasy of New York in the nineties was built on the carcass of seventies New York. The city was bankrupt, and there was something raw and weird going on. By the eighties, indie and punk had begun to fracture. #4 The birth of Bad Boy Records in the eighties was the first time hip-hop had many newly minted moguls, who were making some of the best music around.
However, there was little overlap between the zine/college radio cultures and hip-hop.
