blue surprise

Not many people in the EMC theatre last night maybe because ‘Factory Girl’ the story of 60's Superstar Fashion Queen,Edie Sedgwick,got a bad review in the Globe&Mail.
But the director of the film cared about what happened to poor little rich girl Edie and that’s what mattered to me
He took a side
He took her side
Edie was in New York in the Village in 1965 around the same time as me but I wasn’t able to connect
I took my name from one of Dylan’s songs but she went to bed with him
Dylan its seems warned Edie that Andy Warhol was a bloodsucker
She became part of Warhol’s reinvention of Art as a Spectacle
Used up and discarded like an empty Campbell’s soup can
Dead at 28
Nobody in that small audience could know like me what it was like to be lost in New York City
Nobody else remained seated listening to Tim Hardin’s song when the lights went back on
“Hidden in a red balloon
Got a blue surprise
Took the lovelight from my eyes
blue,blue surprise”
