Quotes
Because several of my one-day wonders, usually of the S&M variety, played at the Avon Theater there is a myth that I made them for the Avon people. This is not true. I made them for the boys downtown, who were the porno unit for the [Carlo Gambino] crime family. They had an arrangement with the Avon owner, a guy named Murray something, to play them at the Avon. I never worked directly for the Avon people, and didn't really know them.
