Two years later, I was working the door at \u003cem\u003eThe Mudd Club\u003c\/em\u003e. Standing outside, staring at the crowd, it was \"out there\" versus \"in here,\" and I was on the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mudd Club was filled with the famous and soon-to-be-famous, along with an eclectic core of regulars who gave the place its identity. Everyone from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons, and Robert Rauschenberg to Johnny Rotten, The Hell's Angels, and John Belushi: passing through, passing out, and some, passing on. Marianne Faithful and Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, William Burroughs, and even Kenneth Anger—just a few of the names that stepped on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo Wave and Post-Punk artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers were living in a nighttime world on the cusp of two decades. This book is a cornucopia of memories and images, and shows how this famed wicked downtown club attained the status of midtown and uptown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere was nothing else like it—I met everyone, and the job quickly defined me. I thought I could handle it, and for a while, I did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Richard Boch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846555324652,"sku":"9781627310512","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10524193482767.jpg?v=1758912375","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-mudd-club-by-richard-boch-9781627310512","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
