Punk rock and hip-hop. Disco and salsa. The loft jazz scene and the downtown composers known as Minimalists. In the mid-1970s, New York City was a laboratory where all the major styles of modern music were reinvented--block by block, by musicians who knew, admired, and borrowed from one another. Crime was everywhere, the government was broke, and the infrastructure was collapsing. But rent was cheap, and the possibilities for musical exploration were limitless.
Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell the full story of the era's music scenes and the phenomenal and surprising ways they intersected. From New Year's Day 1973 to New Year's Eve 1977, the book moves panoramically from post-Dylan Greenwich Village, to the arson-scarred South Bronx barrios where salsa and hip-hop were created, to the lower Manhattan lofts where jazz and classical music were reimagined, to ramshackle clubs like CBGB and the Gallery, where rock and dance music were hot-wired for a new generation.

No pocket
The shirt is nice. My son is 6' and 220 lbs. It fits him perfectly. This will be baggy on a thin guy. This is perfect for someone who is thick. I am very disappointed it doesn't have a pocket. My son specifically wanted a pocket. The pic shows a pocket! Yes the fine print in the description says no pocket, but isn't that what pics are for so I don't have to read the 1000 word description?

Very Nice Dress Shirt Will Buy Again
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
I am happy with this purchase, it came in a day and was packaged nicely. The shirt looks exactly as expected, a nice clean white, looks sharp and quality, and feels nice too. It’s got just the right amount of stretch without being too much, fits great, very true to size, and overall love the shirt. My only complaint is it did show up a bit wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s not exactly wrinkle free the way I had hoped, but it is minimal. Overall, a great value for the price, feels comparable to a lot of my shirts 2 to 3 times the price.
