STAFF PICK

SOUTHEAST PREMIERE
Danny Fields was a ‘faggot’ (his words) who dropped out of Harvard law school to move to New York, with all its cute longhaired boys. He hung out at Andy Warhol’s Factory, worked as a rock journalist and sparked the Beatles’ ‘bigger than Jesus’ controversy. He appointed himself The Doors’ press officer, and worked with the Stooges, Lou Reed and MC5, as well as giving boosts to Patti Smith. Presenting a subject who is unfailingly unpretentious, warm and witty, Danny Says is a love song to a great gay and punk cultural icon.
