EXCLU: 'I was flattered that Sinéad picked me over Kennedy, knowing that every girl in Manhattan would’ve given John-John her left ankle tattoo in favor of a date with him,' writes Legs McNeil.
for the past month, that was also a large part of conversation, but I had to catch a flight back to New York in the morning to make my deadline, and we agreed to continue our conversation over the phone.
I had to leave New York almost immediately to cover the war in El Salvador on returning home, since I hated writing about the lame bands, Television, Patti Smith, the Talking Heads, etc., that emerged from my favorite hangout, CBGB’s. The day Sinéad flew over was when we had our lunch with my agent, Susan Lee Cohen, who remembered the restaurant “America” as being this cavernous up-scale cafeteria with murals of the Statue of Liberty and a bald eagle on the walls, and that Sinéad was wearing her son, Jake’s tiny sweatshirt wrapped around her waist, and that neither Sinéad, nor I, touched our food.
I was flattered that Sinéad picked me over Kennedy, knowing that every girl in Manhattan would’ve given John-John her left ankle tattoo in favor of a date with him.I’d make bubble-baths for Sinéad in my tiny apartment, and when the tub filled up with bubbles and she climbed in, I’d scoop the soap suds up in my hand and start sculpting different hair styles on top of her bald head.“You don’t like the way I look?” she pouted.
