EPISODE SUMMARY:
It's become cliché at this point for someone to say they were born in the wrong era. But it's hard to deny how incomparably cool the 1960s in New York were, so coveting that scene seems somewhat obvious. There was the Summer of Love, rivers of LSD, and Andy Warhol's The Factory at the center of all "happenings." And the soundtrack to it all was art rockers The Velvet Underground's 1969 self-titled album, which comedian James Adomian has listened to while enjoying his own fair share of sex, drugs and creative expression.
