The ugly, the useless the sick and the guilty. The true, the trapped, the lost and the hated. Dorothy Parker. Eldritch at the Airport. Bowie in Berlin. Lou at the bar. Iggy on the ceiling. Maria Callas back at the hotel, for drinks and vocal tips. Aguilera in reception, Karen Carpenter on the phone. Julie London at the movies and Beyonce shopping. Nina Simone. Ella Fitzgerald. Edith Piaf in 1935.
