I do voiceovers, so I've learned how to perfect a lot of different accents. You should have heard me then! People would stop and say, 'Wait a minute.' Total Gomer Pyle.
When you moved to New York, was that your first time here?Ībsolutely. Andy Warhol came with a very young David LaChapelle taking photos and I said, 'I got get my ass to New York.' They were constantly changing the décor, and there was a cross section of reggae and underage rockers dressed like Robert Smith from the Cure. It was like our Pyramid, except it was punk, new wave, and goth. There was a club in Miami called Fire & Ice. I was in a scene on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. John and Andy Taylor and Eartha Kitt, Robert Palmer, and Chic were all in it. Tell me some things about your Florida experiences. Keep your mouth shut and know your wagon's got a bigger destination on it. Yes, it gives you the incentive to want to hurry up and get the hell out of there. Was there anything good about being from a small town like that? The population was less than a thousand people back then. I had lived in Miami/Fort Lauderdale from '85 to '87 and met enough New Yorkers to know I needed to be here.
Tenn DJ'd and also gogo danced at some of that period's best remembered places, and paused to tell me about it all. Aka DJ Tennessee, came to the big city from a small southern town with disco glitter balls in his eyes and quickly managed to penetrate the nightlife scene.
