Tommy Tucker, as Tommy Diventi, published a lot of Baltimore and some New York poets on Apathy Press. Their logo is a brain with wings, which he has tattooed on his upper arms. Now he works on a road crew and has a band as Tommy Tucker. He has a giant heart but sweats the small stuff.

(3 ratings) I just want to call attention to this website, Drunks on a Plane. One day I’m going to interview a former comedienne who works as a flight attendant now, because its always interesting when people can’t follow the boundaries of airplane behavior for the required amount of time. Decades ago a starlet called Joey Heatherton was escorted off a plane brandishing a pair of scissors, and more recently Mo’Nique, one of my favorite comediennes ever, tried to use a first class compartment to store her hairdo equipment, then accused the stewardess of getting racialist when she was told you can only do that if you’re actually sitting in first class. Mo’Nique and her entourage were escorted off the plane, and she went on one of those shows like Extra telling a sympathetic tabloid reporter that she had been treated just like an ‘animal.’

G-Sus was born and bred on Avenue C, NYC, and he’s the only poet I know who makes money for it, and gets hugs, on the street. I caught up with him in Tompkins Square Park, never a hard thing to do, for this little 86ed interview

(2 ratings) Brian Dillon works for the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority), aka New York City subway system. He is a token-booth clerk who works the graveyard shift, and he has an incredible memory. In the 1990s, he published the underground (literally) zine TRASH (Transit-worker Revelations And Substantiated Hearsay), and currently, he sings in the band Box of Crayons.
Blowdryer says, “This interview is one of the biggest ‘gets’ of my career!”
(2 ratings) Blowdryer interviews rogue hairstylist Scotty Schizo about being 86ed from various establishments in the East Village. She first met Scotty at the Mars Bar when she was on a Sparks binge. He ended up cutting her hair at 5 am, which was either a brilliant move or a tragic mistake.
