marsha "pay it no mind" johnson


last week my friend bunny gave me a cd of music by antony and the johnsons. great music. then my friend andy sichel calls and tells me he wants me to edit a short film of marsha p johnson, a drag queen from new york who saw it all from stonewall through the early nineties that andy taped in 1991 just before she was killed. then i find out that anthony and the johnsons are named for marsha and that bunny's son, nico, has been doing some gigs with antony. at destiny i met a friend who worked with antony on a play, doing lights. providence?
