The New Yorker Theatre as it looked around that time:

"John Cale would play the New Yorker (Gary Topp's new venue) theatre in February of 1977, fanning the flames that the Ramones
had sparked four months earlier when they kick-started the "punk" scene in Toronto on September 24, 1976 on the very same stage.
Cale was (and still is) a living legend, and did not disappoint. He ended his blistering set on his hands and knees, gathering up mike
and amp chords in his mouth, crawling off the stage, hundreds of pounds of amps and mikes falling and trailing behind him, pure
anarchic and hilarious theatrics, feedback humming and screeching, until finally hiding behind the curtain stage right.
The Wizard of Fucking Oz. And the packed house might have collectively thought: "Whoa. We're definitely not in Kansas anymore."
The first encore was Cable Hogue, and then This Heart of Mine. The Ballad of Cable Hogue was a 1970 movie directed by bad-ass
genius Sam Peckinpah that was also shown often at The Original 99 Cent Roxy. Cale would later write Honi Soit (qui mal y pense),
which could be translated, more or less, as "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," the cut-line of the movie.
Or more accurately, "Evil be to him who thinks Evil." - Colin Brunton © 2009 – All Rights Reserved.
