Greenwich Village

This is like, you know, Netherlands is like the belly of the beast for the globalists.

This is like having a heterosexual pride parade in Greenwich Village, New York.

We're poking them in the eye, and we're showing them that we're not afraid.

I agree.

And on a great big battleship you'd like to be What can you see beneath the snow?

And I tell you, what they're showing you is what you could find in certain Greenwich Village cafes and certain Harlem cafes in the 20s and early 30s.

Just an incredible openness.

They were very visible.

And what he did next, the venue he walked into in the summer of 1966, would change everything.

So summer 1966, Greenwich Village, New York City.

Hendrix, now going by Jimmy James, has put together a band called Jimmy James and the Blue Flames.

And they're playing a basement club in McDougall Street called Cafe Wa.

Hendrix's raw sexual stage act baffled and bored the Monkees' young fans, who had come to scream for Davy Jones.

After a handful of dates, the experience left the tour.

The official reason given is that a conservative women's group had objected to the Hendrix act, and I have seen, you know, in... music magazines in any magazine and papers they have little snippet interviews with artists and things I've seen one of those Jimi Hendrix and it's like likes dislikes and on his thing it's like it's literally like things I love and it's like science fiction my guitar blah blah things I hate the monkeys so obviously did not go well meanwhile the experience kept recording in december 1967 they released their second album album axis bold as love it's lyrical more experimental more sophisticated there's a famous possibly embellished story that hendrix left the master tape on the side one in a taxi and had to go straight back and remix the entire side in a single night By the end of 1967, just 15 months, Jimi Hendrix had gone from a Greenwich village unknown to one of the biggest stars on the planet.

And that's where the trouble starts.

Like, don't, don't, don't let anyone know it's her first time here.

And she's coming down from a college down into Greenwich Village.

And she's struck by this old school butch femme white working class aesthetic.

Like the pinky rings, the signet rings, the really wide belts.

And in different cities and different places, people push back against it and they create other kinds of places.

It's not always the norm.

But that was in a place called the Duchess, which is still one of the most famous lesbian bars in the history of New York City, down in Greenwich Village.

And just that kind of terror or overwhelm she felt about like, I'm going to this hippie college.

But also, success to that post because it got him everything that Twitter rewards, which is not exactly healthy.

But also, if you walk along 12th Street, 11th Street, through Greenwich Village, right now... or even some of those rabbit warren of streets that are down a little bit further south, it's still gonna be quiet and empty and you can smoke your joint and pretend you're in a haunted village.

That's the charm of it.

It still looks like that.

Masovic, who immigrated to the city from Montenegro in southern Europe and started as a dishwasher, saying this kind of limited dream, you could say.

Greenwich Village restaurant Loring Place announced in July it was no longer able to shoulder the growing cost burdens and would be permanently shuttering.

Quote, we are just four months shy of our 10-year anniversary.

The truth is simple.

And a very young Parker Posey.

I saw Parker Posey at the original Magnolia in Greenwich Village.

That's my only time I've

seen him.

He was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped the guillotine in revolutionary France, and was completely ostracized in America.

Thomas Paine died in poverty on June 8, 1809, in New York City's Greenwich Village.

In 1847, Ignaz Semmelweis asked himself, What if everyone is wrong? Then he required every doctor in his obstetrics ward at Vienna General Hospital to disinfect their hands before delivering a baby.

The death rate among young mothers in his obstetrics ward fell from 18% to less than 2%.
