Nearer


These are the four sides of the original vinyl of "Judy Live at Carnegie Hall". It's a kind of portrait of my highschool girlfriend Roberta. This was her favorite album, she knew all the words and she'd be running her house doing all these routines and then we'd go see the Ramones or some other punk band and she was just as into that as Judy Garland. Roberta is still one of my closest friends and I loved this dichotomy in her, that she could be just as moved something as show buzzy as Judy Garland and something as raw and minimal (but ultimately just as theatrical) as the Ramones.
