I just sort of stood there and looked to the left and to the right and I was immediately approached by a very cute, very bubbly girl and she asked me if I was looking for anybody. I just said "I'm looking for friends," and she said, "Well, come sit down!" I met Andy that night. I met Cindy Lange who was Alice Cooper's girlfriend at the time, and before I knew it, my phone was ringing off the hook. It became my religion almost, going to Max's.ĮLLE: Patti Smith mentioned you in Just Kids. Were you friends?īB: A lot of people don't realize that Max's had an upstairs where bands played-that's how I saw Patti Smith for the first time. She really taught me a lot about stuff beyond how cool the MC5 and the Stooges were and why a record like that was really cool. I already had an obsession with Oscar Wilde and we'd get in arguments about how she thought Rimbaud was cooler.
