    The New Yorker

    in Written word

    Posted · Edited by Sneakeater

    Wait I'm confused. Are you talking about the New Yorker piece that broke the bear story?

    Quote

    One day, in the fall of 2014, Kennedy was driving to a falconry outing in upstate New York when he passed a furry brown mound on the side of the road. He pulled over and discovered that it was the carcass of a black-bear cub. Kennedy was tickled by the find. He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of his car and later showed it off to his friends. In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his fingers inside the bear’s bloody mouth, a comical grimace across his face. (When I asked Kennedy about the incident, he said, “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm.”)

    Kennedy with the carcass of a black-bear cub, in 2014. “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm,” he said.

    After the outing, Kennedy, who was then sixty and recently married to Hines, got an idea. He drove to Manhattan and, as darkness fell, entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. A person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought it would be funny to make it look as if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist. The next day, the bear was discovered by two women walking their dogs, setting off an investigation by the N.Y.P.D. “This is a highly unusual situation,” a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy told the Times. “It’s awful.” In a follow-up piece for the Times, which was coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, one of J.F.K.’s granddaughters, a retired Bronx homicide commander commented, “People are crazy.”

    Sam's is a good example of an Old Skool Red Sauce place that isn't nearly as good as you want it to be.

    Speaking of which, my own new local Old Skool Red Sauce place, Joe's, which isn't good at all.

    But the prices!

    Now you've got me listening incessantly to the Three Great Albums (first second and fourth duh) incessantly.

    Thanks.  I guess.

    Actually, as horrible as it is to say, I'm sure I'd have a higher opinion of this thread's GP (much as a like him as it is) if he had gone to an English national park and ended his life (and recording career) after Squeezing Out Sparks.

    I mean don't get me wrong:  I'm glad he didn't.

    (I do wish the Stones had broken up after Some Girls, though.  No deaths necessary.)
