January 3, 1995: My power was cut off but my living room light socket was on someone else's bill

Thirty years ago today

            The super hadn’t come for the rent for a while and my power had been cut off. But my living room overhead light seemed to be on someone else’s bill and so I screwed a plug into the socket and powered my place with extension cords. That night I took my guitar to Fat Albert’s open stage and the open stage at the Art Bar reading series.
