Last week I rode in a cab and as we passed empty warehouses and the park, the driver fiddled with the radio and “Heart of Glass” started to play. I thought, this is why I put up with this place, for this to happen. The track turned out to be a cover, a very convincing one, and before the song ended the driver switched stations. Tonight I saw Debbie Harry sing live in an old synagogue in the Lower East Side and I had the same thoughts.
