And I assume the music was edited in later, don't think the BBC guys were aware of rare Texas 45s in the 70's. A supercool watch nevertheless. For the Graf heads. Did anyone here know this existed?

    Great doc. It's half of an Omnibus episode on New York art, the other half being about Soho loft art/dance/performance group Environ. You can catch the whole thing here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02tc9t5/omnibus-new-york-new-york - if you can access BBC Iplayer.

    The version on youtube has indeed been edited by the guy who originally uploaded it (his version also doesn't have that weird wobbly picture thing going on. wtf is that about anyway.)

    Don't know much about the doc though. The title is the same as the Uk publication of early NY graf from '73.



    here's the story behind the book - http://www.duncancumming.co.uk/article-Watching-My-Name-Go-By.cfm

    Text by Norman Mailer.

    I just watched a documentary about Mailer the other night. I had never before seen the footage nor had ever even heard about his ear-biting scrap with Rip Torn.

    Days later, I'm still like whoa.
