Mick Rock and David Fricke at the New York Public Library
Last night Mick Rock (photographer) reminisced with David Fricke (Rolling Stone) about his life and Lou Reed's Transformer album. "Vose girls" [sic], David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and most of the early Glam Rockers, all shared the same clothes and make up and never wore the same thing twice. None of them had any idea they were making musical history except for Bowie, and none of them earned anything, except for Bowie. Lou Reed was much loved by all, except for Bowie, and Reed was fascinated by people in the housebreaking business. One day, when he found his own house had been broken into, nothing was missing but all the furniture had been re-arranged. Mick Rock summarized his career as a lot of fun at everyone else's expense, except for Bowie. "It wasn't effing lucky," he said, "but it was effing PROPITIOUS."
