    @ulnterview @Peter Gatien I pretty much lived in the Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium. All Petters clubs were great! Peter was always a charming man, at least to myself. I never did drugs, nor did I ever see or hear him ask me to do anything. I remember when not touring, I brought Layne Stanly and many when on downtime to Peters clubs. We all had a great time in Limelight GNR, and down the line, we all loved the place so did Kenue, who played with his band and countless others. I agree they also set Peter up regarding so many things it's sick. I was always dressed well to the nines and still do, sometimes dressed club kid style (miss you, Jimmy Webb; may he rest in peace, good old Trash And Vidvill; then he opened a store a few years before his death from cancer called I NEED MORE!) Thanks to everyone in Rock. He was the godfather of Fashion of Rockers, Club Kids, Punks, etc. From living around the world and touring with certain people sometimes, attending the best festival to date, Sweden Rock. I noticed one country and city that desperately Needs Peter! Hey Peter, the best and most needed place in the world that needs that type of club is "Oslo, Norway." They have been begging me to use my contacts; there are so many hidden talented people, and your scene is most defiant. We miss you dearly in N.Y.C.; lastly, N.Y.C. also ruined Bleecker street music history street gone! We need all our clubs back. That was an insane question to ask regarding Micheal Alig. I saw two sides of him, and it's just a fact of said story, but he did have a certain air about him. He was either pleasant or downright spoiled, and he wanted what he wanted and was going to do or get it any way he could, the sad part of addiction manipulation. Was I shocked to learn about Angles' murderer? Yes and no. Many of us miss you in New York Peter

Just like the big mouth on my channel felt the need too make a video for his fan's. Telling the world who my biological parent's were and who I hang with. Feel free to watch the two fool's in the car! Sharing my personal business. I pretty much know the true stories behind what people are honestly willing to share. Thank you for the invite.

    I am really beside my self with admiration for the club owners who have the "vision' that they do. Especially, when they are good at what they do and are able to work with the, wild, misunderstood, often hedonistic and debaucherous artists they are forced to work with to create night club magic. Pete was a true visionary, he picked up where Ian Scharager and Paul Rubell left off and saw a spot where young people who were being ushered into the nightlife, were changing and had different, sometimes outlandish needs. And I think adult partying always is searching for a new high in shock value and society is constantly changing in what young people are thrilled by. Bravo. You did a stellar job. And how were you supposed to have the hottest clubs in NYC Manhattan, and have them be drug free? Come on. Every club owner and DJ realizes the importance of drugs in a night club and they play towards it. It is, after all, the audiences party.

    Hebrews 9:27
    “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
    King James Version (KJV)
    Deuteronomy 22:5 KJV
    "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."
    Genesis 1:27 KJV
    "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
    2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV
    This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, *without natural affection* , trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
    Acts 3:19 KJV
    "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
    Luke 13:5
    “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
    King James Version (KJV)
    1 John 1:9 KJV
    "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
    Romans 6:23
    “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
    King James Version (KJV)
    John 3:3
    “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    In The Clubscene you have to be so careful and stay on top of your Business. You are not Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof although you may think you are. Steve Rubell (RIP) and Ian Schrager who previously owned Studio 54 found that out the hard way. Ian came back in Hotels, Steve sadly died of AIDS related illnesses in 1989 and so many patrons over the year have also died, if not of AIDS but natural causes and other circumstances.

NYC at the time was going through a transformation, The people in higher positions of power wanted to clean the city because of the reputation that they had. so i can understand. They wanted him out not because of tax invasion but to root himout because of corruption.

      Lilwng 28 Stop spreading false accusations, asshole. James St. James had fuck all to do with the murder of Angel-in fact, he wasn’t even there when it happened, you fucking idiot!! Jesus Christ, I hate people like you. Just STFU and GTFO the internet.
