The thing that makes me feel so fuzzy as a New Yorker is how J&Y were always New Yorkers at their cores. They gave our city so much love, and our city loved them right back. Was listening to David Peel’s Ballad of New York City the other day, and I think that perfectly sums it up.
A lot of people who don’t live here don’t understand this city. I always describe New York as gritty (read as there’s much more to this place than Fifth Ave.), and 70s New York was even grittier. For people of J&Y’s stature, I think what was so amazing was that they defied expectations and really embraced New York for all that it is.
Also, I just want to say, for as much as England gets a claim to the Beatles, I feel like we have a claim to J&Y. This was, and always will be, their home.
