Thurston Moore



Thurston Moore.  The Goat Farm.  Tonight.  This will be great.

Here's a terrific, intimate portrait of Moore, filmed last June before the shocking news was released.





For what it's worth,  I lived in New York (Long Island to be honest, but a short train ride away) during the time of which he's talking.  Although I never saw them perform, I remember how shockingly young Sonic Youth were when they debuted, and I've watched Moore and Gordon age gracefully over the years, their faces a virtual Dorian Grey portrait of my own advancing years.

Tonight, an old man will watch a mature artist reflect on a live lived fully.
