    You’re coherent as hell, I know exactly what you’re trying to say. I’m not a New Yorker but I am old and very much an art lover, so I remember a lot of the names you just threw. Though I wasn’t a fan of pretty much anything she was involved with, her influence is inescapable and has a much farther reach than just pop music.

    And maybe I’m remembering incorrectly, but while she wasn’t the most generous of patrons that ever lived, she did throw some of that ex-Beatle cash into the art scene from time to time as well, and was involved in many a fundraiser, maybe still is. That may not make a whole lot of difference in terms of changing a band from Sound A to Sound B, but over time, quietly, she really has changed the art world.

    You took people and events I barely remembered and fleshed it out into actual facts very handily. Thank you for taking the time, and I hope by the time you’re reading this you’ve gotten some sleep.
