Heard a fascinating interview on "Fresh Air" on him a few days ago--think it was with his publicist (interesting he had one). Seems he had a complex relationship with lots of folks. Despised "Rolling Stone" since it was based on the West Coast and had, he thought, no respect for NY musicians--but wanted to be on the cover (too much listening to Dr. Hook?). And got his wish about 1989. Also, as everybody knows, very close to Warhol---but realized that Warhol sometimes used people. Especially uneasy with Warhol's constant taping and taking pictures.
