...a crazily affecting piece of scabrous, scatological Dada that sneaks into the film "just when you thought it was safe to relax in the gutter."

https://buffalonews.com/1988/10/21/a-maniacal-mystery-tour-through-mondo-new-york/

The bittersweet core of the big apple, a perversely compelling tribute to the antistars of the city, a circa 1980s Berlin caberet. Mondo New York is a cult classic celebration of what makes the naked city a one of a kind metropolis. With Ann Magnuson, Lydia Lunch, Joe Coleman, Dean Johnson, and much more. First authorized DVD release of this underground classic!

PULL MY DAISY

PULL MY DAISY: Phoebe Legere: “David Amram and I will performing this song at #NERFA the Northeast Folk Conference Stanford, Conn. Nov 12. I'll do the wide ranging melody as written by Amram in '59 and sung breathtakingly by Anita Ellis in the movie starring Larry Rivers - Allen Ginzberg - The words are by David's pal Jack Kerouac. Many FB and real friends are mentioned in this Youtube video. More important, for those saddened by the recent downgrade of the value of art and music :o David's words and the example of his life are good medicine. PULL MY DAISY Music David Amram, lyrics Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady “
