Beautiful shot of the Freewheelin' street. Your post made me remember the disappointment I felt on discovering that the Oh Mercy mural (over on the west side somewhere, if memory serves) was gone.
I lived in New York for seventeen years and was unable, at the time, to appreciate it. If I'd known that giants of music like Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yoko Ono -- not to mention Peter Stampfel, my favorite singer on earth, who was playing god knows how many 30-capacity NYC gigs every year -- were roaming those same streets -- if I had known them to be the giants I now recognise them as! -- I might have felt differently about it all.
