The resistance will prevail because it tells the truth. The dictators will fall because they lie to the troops.

No mention in the newsletter of Stormy Delarverie’s historic anniversary – Stonewall uprising – this week. (or on the blog)

The Chelsea doesn’t even have a Consierge.
Take this back to the freakin Paramount or wherever the idiotic concept came from. If they found the Chelsea its not because they need a road map to every hackneyed tourist spot. And don’t the bronze plaques outside provide this astounding Arthur Miller trivia? I believe they do. So why regurgitate it for guests who’ve already checked in except maybe the fact that New Management has nothing new to say or contribute to that history.LikeLike

Oh my God. SOOOO banal, so “to-day-at-the-holiday-inn-Kiwanis-Meeting-in-the-Rrose-Room, if you know what I mean. The layout alone… Totally tacky, and not in a good way. The idea is just antithetical to the place. The kind of traveller attracted by the Chelsea is already curious and will either already know what’s going on or how to find out.
You’re either hep or yuou;re not, you’re not David Elder. Everyone knows this sudden interest in the fate of the art world is a bad cover for greed and selfishness. It’s rather like when Bush-Cheney were preparing the nation for a war in Afghanistan, and they suddenly became interested in womnen’s rights in Afg. Even Dick Cheney jumped on the feminist bandwagon for a few days.
It’s hard to sustain that cover though. It isn’t enough to put a few ringers in the rooms and host a few arts shows. Soon you’d be required to demonstrate a real love and commitment to the arts, get your hands dirty, make deep sacrifices, navigate tricky emotional waters, sudder/exult intensely, and then, ultimately, create and spread some magic around.
Stanley knew how to do that, and under the most ridiculously difficult and strange circumnstances.
See what you’re up against, Elder?LikeLike

The more Elder dons the patron of the arts mantle, the more he pales in comparison to Stanley.

I am sure it is a mere oversight on the blog, as the bloggers have written a lot about Storme. Storme delivered the punch that changed the world. A class act, Storme shoots from the hip and is not not just a pivotal figure in American — and beyond– history but a Chelsea Hotel Legend. There’s no way to count all the artists Storme has fed when they were on the bones of the bum. Ironic that the dreadful newsletter would metion the anniversary of “gay liberation,” but fail to mention the spark that ignited it all lives in the Chelsea Hotel. Rock on, Storme.
