The Woman Behind The Dead Boys
The CBGB movie left me with many questions.

These will likely never be answered. But it also made me want to know more about Dead Boys producer and all around bad-ass Genya Ravan. Then I dug up this local news clip from 1977 and learned about Goldie Zelkowitz from the Lower East Side and how she became the first female producer in rock.

Great minds think alike. I think the depiction of Lou Reed drove me crazy the most. But Hilly was spot on from my memory of him!
