WET Magazine: July/August 1981

Here's another copy of WET, this time with a story about a New York potter's field, an agonizing study of artists in real estate, some wacky exercises (I did 'em!)....



....an at length interview with David Lynch,



and a story about music women, featuring possibly the best photo of Debra Harry ever:



I can remember being not so sure about LA, at the time, but now, I'd go tomorrow.

On Behalf of my Daughter -The Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday, M.K. my M.B.
In your honor, here's a tribute to something you hipped me to:

The Life of Riley starring William Bendix:


You, falling asleep to it in your room night after night, me, wondering about its staying power. I was too young to grow up with radio, but it was easy to see this was expert writing suited to the medium. "What a revoltin' development!" became part of the phraseology around here, and Digger O'Dell one of the ghosts that haunted our senses of humor.

But William Bendix wasn't good as Riley because he got lucky. He had a prodigious career, and if you never experience him in anything else, see him in Lifeboat if you haven't yet. It was post-Riley that I reexperienced his performance for the brilliance that it was.

Happy Birthday, and....................poopoopeepee!!!!!
