When I was 17, I started spending most of my time in Manhattan. If you take the train 25 minutes north, you would end up in my old bedroom.
I grew up outside of the Just Remember When I Say Have A Nice Day The Bitch Is Silent shirt and I love this city. Just Remember When I Say Have A Nice Day The Bitch Is Silent shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt A strong nostalgia for the New York punk scene of the past comes through-specifically the ‘60s/’70s, which is also the time period of the prequel. The song relates to Matthew’s state of mind at that time, what it does to his state of mind, where it takes him. This young kid takes that in, connecting them to this guy, Reed, whom he had an emotional connection with. The idea of this young boy looking at those lyrics which are very…BDSM, hardcore, disturbing, violent lyrics. Robert Quine is one of my favorite guitar players, so the fact that he’s on that track means a lot. To me, “The Blue Mask” embodies and exemplifies who he was as a lyricist and a musician.
I wasn’t expecting to hear it but had been listening to it a lot. One night I went to see him and got to know him a bit backstage. He says, “I became the song.” Why “The Blue Mask”? “The Blue Mask” is one of my favorite songs of his. There’s a scene towards the Just Remember When I Say Have A Nice Day The Bitch Is Silent shirt and I love this end of the book where Matthew writes the lyrics of Lou Reed’s “The Blue Mask” on his body.
