Fantabulous New York Rock Party, New York, May 30, 1976

Here's a poster for an event I've never heard of before - the Fantabulous New York Rock Party - which took place at the Manhattan Center (which is still there) in New York on May 30, 1976. According to the site where this image is from, and this poster is available to purchase, this was a benefit for Wayne County, as well as quite an interesting mix of the (then) old school & present school of the downtown/art/music scene in New York.

Fourth Arts Block & Antagonist Movement unveil Joey Ramone mural behind CBGB

This month, Raul Ayala and other members of the Antagonist Movement went to work on a mural on Extra Place behind the location of CBGB, where Fourth Arts Block has an ongoing public art project. The inspiration for the mural is a poem written by Dee Dee Ramone after Joey’s death. It was given to the artists by Arturo Vega, and describes Joey’s spirit as a dragon riding through the blue sky.
