Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Nico and Jim Morrison were alive and well on September 23rd, at the Players Theater in New York City, through rare footage in Danny Fields’ new documentary Danny Says. Gillian McCain and Legs McNeil, the authors of Please Kill Me, The Uncensored Oral History of Punk, hosted the private screening for over 200 guests with director Brendan Toller and producer Pamela Lubell alongside. Danny was the brilliant agent, editor, and provocateur who worked with and inspired Morrison, Iggy Pop, MC5, The Ramones, and many more.
In her welcoming remarks, Gillian mimicked her dedication in Please Kill Me, how Danny inspired the book and was “forever the coolest guy in the room.” Danny, who could not be there, wrote to Gillian of the coincidental date the screening fell on, as it was the same day, many many years ago, that the Stooges and MC5 were signed and that it was also his parents anniversary, for which none of this would be possible without.
Guests attended include David Cook, Sophia Coppola and Thomas Mars, Vincent and Shelly Fremont, Janeane Garofalo, Anthony Haden-Guest, Duncan Hannah, Richard Hell, Glenn Horowitz and Tracey Jackson, David Ilku, Phoebe Legere, Richard Lloyd, Kurt Loder, James Marshall, Thurston Moore, Anita Sarko, Anna Sui, and Steven Van Zandt.
Following the screening, Wild Restaurant catered a variety of gourmet pizzas to the after-party at 49 Grove and guests were able to relive their era with music by DJ Freddie.
