Photocopy of an item about finding Palmolive that appeared in the “Rockbeat” column, from a page in an August 1995 copy of The Village Voice.
I remember when Mike told me that he’d talked to a writer at The Village Voice about our trip to see Palmolive. Wait, you mean the actual media was interested? After all, the Voice was not just New York’s, but arguably America’s most important “alternative” newspaper at that time.
Alas, the piece that ran got some of the facts wrong (e.g. Jeremy was my friend, not Mike’s, and Jeremy and I actually went to see Palmolive first). And my involvement in the entire endeavor was downgraded to just a “friend” that happened to tag along.
Okay, whatever. It was still kind of cool to see my name in The Village Voice. Little did I know I’d end up working there less than a few years later, no less in a role where I got to call the shots on how we featured music on our web site.
