'chelsea girls'... 4. preferably no band- not on a roof, not swimming with dolphins, not at 1000fps like a perfume commercial... 5. the highway's jammed with broken heroes... 6. citizen kane's breakfast montage... 7. the bass riff to 'ceremony'... chapter ii: middle the practical realities of the seven point plan...
