Yup used to watch her when she did her shows on PBS with mom; with both of us being artists. She was brilliant and some times funny in her interpretation of the art and sculptures.
...and so frank with her explanations and commentary... regardless of subject matter. What some may have thought as titillating, she exposed the under-meaning. RIP Sr. Wendy.

What's interesting (and sad) to me is that when she *actually* died (six weeks ago), no one cared.
yeah well Clint was no sweetheart to her. Really sad what she went through upon meeting that guy. I hope she is at peace if not, haunting his effing ass.

Yeah, I remembered seeing a headline about her back then, but it was a "sidebar" link in some other article I was reading. I don't actively read or watch very much "entertainment" media, but I didn't see or hear much else about her back then either. I came across that Tweet photo today and thought it was odd that aside from writing such a dismissive headline that THR waited all this time to write an obituary. The linked article has some other points that THR neglected.
He was known as a master of 3-minute pop songs, but I always really liked this 6-minute+ B-side of "Everybody's Happy Nowadays". One of those songs that helped get me through high school.
â...'Without him itâs unlikely there would be the Ramones, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, New York Dolls, so many acts now so well established in the music firmament but 40 years ago just whispers,â the critic Roger Friedman wrote on the website Showbiz411. âCBGBâs and the Mudd Club were where you heard the music, but Bleecker Bobâs was where you held, felt it, saw it, listened to it, bought it.'â
Odd timing but I bought the self-released Buzzcocks EP "Spiral Scratch" in his store back in 1977, on his recommendation - two or three bucks for import singles or EPs back then. Outside of the NYC area he probably wasn't that widely known, but both linked articles are interesting. A lot of the "punk rock" icons from those days hung out in his store - especially if it was cold or raining.
Thanks for the laughs.
