Exploding Plastic Inevitable-12 yrs old in P’Town
Velvet Underground and Nico was possibly the first concert I ever went to. Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable was in Provincetown playing at the museum in conjunction with a pop art exhibit. My parents asked if kids could go and got a yes. I was 12 maybe 11. All I remember was 3 films going at once in the background while they sang “Heroin” and the dancers formed a circle and the one in middle mimed taking a shot. All while strobe lights bounced off a mirror ball overhead. I think that one experience helped warp me for life. All I know is when I got home I went about trying to recreate that as well as I could.
