John Lurie and John Perry on the Drawing Show: New Yorker Magazine online

This was such a fascinating litle video that must be read in combination with the article by Tad Friend that appeared in the New Yorker back in August 2010.  The article describes in detail the deterioration of their friendship and was wild in it's focus on these two artists who just somehow decided that they couldn't be friends anymore.  I also liked the photos here that show Lurie then and now. 

I showed Stranger Than Paradise, the film by Jim Jarmusch that profiled Lurie and the excellent Richard Edson in the classic indie feature to my CUNY Hostos film class recently and I believe that they were impressed. This clip below inspired me to get the newly mastered Criterion Collection copy.
