AMERICA? SITTING ON A YOUTH TIME BOMB FAST ASLEEP."When I'd walk into CBGBs, I'd get so excited--there was that block where you'd walk past the Amato Opera House and then past the Palace Hotel--ironic title to see on the Bowery, but everything was iconic--and then, after the Palace Hotel, would be CBGBs. My heart would just be racing every time I did that block. And then the doors would open, and I'd be there. I was so excited every night I went. Everything was new, and it was so exciting because I knew I was walking into the future. It was too good to be true. And of course I was feeling guilty about it, because I'd been on a really hot career track back when I left college and I didn't know if I wanted a hot career track--I wasn't sure whether I should be writing a novel or something. I would have my puritanical guilt about what I was doing with my mind, and should I, you know, be more serious. So, I was sitting there with Legs at Max's, saying, 'What are we doing?' I was doing some ridiculous job during the day, then sitting up until four in the morning every night, thinking, 'What am I doing with my life?' And Legs said something I never forgot. He just looked at me and said, 'Mary, we're young. We hang out.' And I said, 'Okay.' You know, 'Yeah, he's completely right, so shut up.' And, I'm so glad I did."
