I stayed at the Chelsea about 14 years ago and it was pretty much like any budget hotel.

2 people don't like poetry? I can't believe that!

Well, just try to go TODAY at the Chelsea, introduce yourself as an unhealthy street-artist and ask for a room in credit...even try to offer them your artworks as payment...you'll see how fast they'll kick you straight out. Sad but true.

@Born28thMay It was filmed on a British soundstage, with some exteriors filmed in Oregon.

What's the music about 4 minutes in?

So is this Documentary where Nico sings Chelsea Girls?

No sound?

did he say Brendan Behan is buried in NY? He is not buried in NY. I have a feeling this will be a fruity doc....cool to see Nico.

Lance Loud, Nico, Burroughs, and Warhol's girls stayed there

Getting high & goofing off is not far from the norm. It's been rule of law for many since time began.
