Bowery Boogie | A Lower East Side Chronicle

Today, Mr. Ringo Starr (nay, Richard Starkey) turns an extremely young 70.  He is currently amidst a world tour with his All Starr Band, and is playing Radio City tonight.  Happy birthday, dude!

Concert for Bangladesh, “It Don’t Come Easy” (1971)

One of our all time favorite songs here at Boogie HQ.

Stevie Wonder, “Sir Duke” (1976)

Supergrass, “Alright” (1995)

Parked on Essex Street for the better part of last Sunday was this flamboyant school bus.  The front was decorated to resemble a face, with a mouth on the grill and eyes on the lights.  And the word “fursure” emblazoned above the windshield.

In two weeks (June 28), the MTA overhaul will take effect.  The W and V lines will be phased out, with the M assuming more responsibilities along the IND line.  The subway (and bus) landscape will be completely different; the signage changes are already being implemented.  Out come the new decals.  So long, M.

Justice, “D.A.N.C.E.” (2007)
