i’ve been walking by this building for over 20 years and I always thought this would happen. I think it’s fine: it’s a beautiful building, especially given what it’s intended purpose was.

Nostalgia can put a pit in my stomach at times. Esp hearing songs from my youth with so many memories tied to them... not necessarily negative feeling, just intense.

A conspicuous level of tumult in the NYC music scene presently. Lots of changes/turn over across the field. Good moment to be reminded of the light that exists in shadow.
Hard to imagine typing this line about anything/one: "...one of the most singular works of art ever created by humankind."
