I did forget it. The show the Groove Tube was on that block I think and what, Serendipity was a few blocks north. There was also a movie theater on 59th where I saw RIp Torn in a really strange movie "Coming Apart. Speaking of Rip Torn, did you know that The part of lawyer George Hanson in the Peter Fonda-Dennis Hopper road movie Easy Rider was written for Torn by Terry Southern (who was a close friend) but according to Southern's biographer Lee Hill, Torn withdrew from the project after he and co-director Dennis Hopper got into a bitter argument in a New York restaurant, ending with Dennis Hopper pulling a knife on Torn. As a result, Torn was replaced by Jack Nicholson, whose appearance in the film catapulted him to stardom Ondines! I did forget it.
