Über diesen Titel

 “Love from New York” is the collection of stories about my life and times that I wrote when I was in pandemic lockdown. I started with memories of New York City in the old days, my life in Greenwich Village in the nineteen-sixties when I went to concerts at the Fillmore East, saw Jimi Hendrix on the streets and watched Jim Morrison prowl for drugs at Max’s Kansas City. On the first day of the summer of love, I heard the Grateful Dead play their first concert outside of California. I went to Columbia University and I worked as a Ford model. I hung out with everyone, rock musicians, hippies, drug dealers, bike gangs, actors and college friends who called themselves revolutionaries who went on to blow themselves up in a townhouse. I went on stage as a stand-up comic, I was there at the pasture of sodden sheep shit that was Woodstock and when I went to a party at Andy Warhol’s Factory, I stole a can of Campbell’s tomato soup from his kitchen. But as I was writing all this, the reality of my violent family loomed and I attempted to write about them, not an easy task. My father had been a doctor in Minnesota who was so violent the people in our hometown feared he might become a shooter and we were homeless for three years as they ran us out of town in a non-violent vigilante action. My mother’s family had been involved in opening the great Minnesota Mesabe Range to the iron mines that were the basis of the steel that built America. I was horrified to discover that the mines my family had opened, although my family had already sold them, dealt with striking miners by hiring militias to shoot them. My extended family were hugely wealthy and an unmarried great aunt adopted a daughter who turned on her adoptive mother and, allegedly, had her murdered. That daughter went on, allegedly, to take the lives of four other people. Writing about my family has been difficult but I include those stories in my podcasts. Thank you for listening.© 2023 Love from New York Sozialwissenschaften

    Killers Killers Everywhere is the story of the people in my fine old WASP family who were terrifyingly violent.  In Killers Killers Everywhere Introduction Part 1, I introduced three of them, the adopted aunt who is a multimillionaire alleged serial killer, the three great uncles who were mass murderers and my own father, a doctor who was so violent our small hometown feared he would become a shooter and ran us out of town in a community vigilante action. In this podcast, Killers Killers Everywhere Introduction Part 2, I'll introduce you to my uncle who was a brilliant Nazi hunter and then ran black ops in the CIA, my great-great-great-great grandfather, a marquis who lived at Versailles and was guillotined and an Ivy-league boyfriend who formed a cult called Weatherman and conned a bunch of rich white kids into blowing themselves up. Like I said, I am so proud that I survived.

    Killers Killers Everywhere Part One
    Aug 8 2022

    Killers Killers Everywhere is the story of the people in my family who have killed. I made a list of family stories I could use for podcasts and was stunned to see the sheer quantity of psychopaths. I come from an old, wealthy WASP family. The family has produced a female multi-millionaire alleged serial killer, murderers, mass murderers and a doctor who was so violent he was run out of town in a vigilante action before he could become a shooter. Oh, and a man who ran black ops in the CIA. My Ivy-league boyfriend was in love with violence and conned a bunch of privileged white kids into forming a cult called Weatherman and blowing themselves up. My life has been a dumpster fire and I'm ratting everybody out. I am so proud I survived.
