Will my generation look back on our time in Williamsburg the way the previous generations look back at Haight-Ashbury? When my pops talks about the Fillmore West I start to wonder if I’ll do the same about venues like North Six, Galapagos, and Luna Lounge (ugh, I mean Music Hall of Williamsburg, Public Assembly, and the New Knitting Factory. I’m getting old).
I guess decades or locales don’t really matter. Truly great music could be from any time or place. Check these two favorites out: 40 years and 847 miles separate them.
The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting for the Man (1967: The Velvet Underground & Nico)
The Black Lips - I Saw a Ghost (Lean) (2007: Good Bad Not Evil)
Hippies or Hipsters? Hard to tell, right?
