AdRoc,Bill Adler and Cey City
Glen E Freidman and Myself……I have known Glen over 20 years….He is one of the people who’s evolution and involvement in many different scenes is paramount to my own…Glen love him or hate him is important in the big picture and my rules his book/zine was/is amazing! Glen got a son now and lives down the block from me but I never see him anymore. Glen is offical
This one is important. This is Fred Buggs and Steve Carr. Bugsy is one of the early champions of rap music on the radio in NYC , the former program director at Kiss FM and the person who ok’d the first mix show on commercial radio in NYC. Bugsy always gave me a lot of love when I was coming up and for that he eternally has a place in my heart. Me and Bugsy have history. The other cat in this picture is Steven Carr who use to be Cey’s partner in the drawing board and designed a ton of record covers and logo’s. Steve graduated to be a serious film maker. He directed The Pacifier with Vin Diesel, Next Friday with Ice Cube and a ton of other flicks. I’m proud of Steve and I have a crazy story about him I’m gonna tell after the pic.
Once in LA I bumped into Steve at a crazy Maxim party. He asked/demanded that I get him in touch with my little homie Justin Pierce who he had meet with me at the farmers market a few months earlier. Justin was in the flick Kids and in the film A Brothers Kiss that my man Seth Rosenfield wrote and directed and was the little homie. Steve was looking for Justin to have him test for Friday after next. He demanded I find him Justin’s contact info. What he didn’t realize is Justin was 10 feet away from him so I marched Steve over to Justin and Justin ended up getting the role sans a screen test. Justin is no longer with us as he took his own life several years ago. I was glad I could connect my two friends and the end result was we were left with a piece of Justin on film that we can all reflect on now that he is no longer with us.
Funny how small things can mean alot after people die like my little homie Justin. Steve’s a good dude and he brought that up to me the other night. His words had emotion behind them and I say thanks Steve for reminding me of that night in LA when I linked you and Justin. I had almost forgot.
And this departing shot of the King Adrock behind the wheels!
A good night in NYC wish I could have stayed longer but I had to run to a Everlast gig….More on that later!
Enjoy

Daaamn Dante….you took it waaaaayyy back. And I don’t think I’ve seen Glen Friedman in like 20 years. Amazingly, he still looks the same. Too funny. Adler’s lost some hair though.

Nice work Dante, I met Bill a few months back when I returned from LA. I was there for a VH-1 party and got a chance to get together with my old friend Cey who introduced me to Bill.
