One of the most interesting (and nerve-racking) interviews I've ever done was this long Q&A with Barney Frank, back in 2012, as he was getting ready to leave Congress. He was a very smart man who had an unusually low tolerance for bullshit. nymag.com/news/features/barn…

I wrote about Hakeem Jeffries & his quest to become Speaker of the House for @NewYorker. Also covered: his "old school" Brooklyn upbringing; his "frictionless" rise up the Democratic Party ladder; the C.B.C.; the D.S.A.; redistricting; & what it means to be a wartime consigliere.

Let's see if this website is actually good for something. Does anyone on here know the identity (and the story) of the security guard from the 1988 Guns N' Roses concert at the Meadowlands that's in the "Paradise City" video? This has been gnawing at me for nearly 40 years.
