{"product_id":"9781627310512","title":"The Mudd Club","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I was a Long Island kid that graduated college in 1976 and moved to Greenwich Village. Two years later, I was working The Mudd Club door. Standing outside, staring at the crowd, it was \"out there\" versus \"in here\" and I was on the inside. The Mudd Club was filled with the famous and soon- to- be famous, along with an eclectic core of Mudd 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. No Wave and Post- Punk artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers living in a nighttime world on the cusp of two decades. This book is a cornucopia of memories and images, and how this famed wicked downtown club attained the status of midtown and uptown. There 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. \"—Richard Boch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feral House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031755178224,"sku":"9781627310512","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781627310512_p0.jpg?v=1763867223","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781627310512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
