something is happening and no one knows what it is. >> joe: you mean the aids? a lot of that time exists in my mind like a dream. like an opium dream. i have these people that i loved that would just drop out, and fall out. and i'm a little bit sad that i wasn't there. i wasn't present, you know, for them. because i was too off in this other world. but for me, there was still something of great beauty to that time. you have wall st. tycoons fighting for huge amounts of wealth, and you have bums fighting over like pennies. and yeah, it has like, you know, a primal awe.
