About the Artist
Lyrics
When I first moved to New York I thought about working in a topless bar. I was really naive and I read the Village Voice and it said "Dancers Wanted" and I was a dancer at the time, I was studying at the Alvin Ailey School and thought, "God, a hundred bucks a night! That's good money." So I'd go to these agencies and these big fat disgusting bald men would be in these offices and they'd say, "Okay, take your clothes off. Let me see you in your underpants. We'll put some music on and you can dance around." I'd go, "Oh it's that kind of dancing." But I stuck around anyway. I was kind of scared but I thought "What could they do to me?" So I'd get down to my underpants and dance for them, but I'd never take the jobs. They were always in New Jersey. Besides I got a job nude modeling for art schools. It was easier. But I kind of like the atmosphere in topless bars. I mean there are good bars and bad bars. But I always have a good time when I go. I also like gay male strip places. Straight male strip places are disgusting. Those guys can never dance. Only the guys at the gay clubs can dance and they always have really good bodies, not real beefy stupid bodies, more slim and beautiful. The guys at the Gaiety have the best bodies and they are really great dancers. But I love topless bars too. I like all the guys in the front row in the baseball caps. They are usually truckers or Japanese men. It's always interesting to scope the crowd.
