COLUMN ........................................... John Helmer A hell of a town It seems I married a genius. “You know we had to call off the New York trip?” says Kate at breakfast. “Yes,” I say, trying not to sound too fed up. “Well it turns out I paid for cancellation protection. We’re going to get a full refund on the fare.” I stare at her with a mixture of admiration and blank disbelief. For a brief instant all is lightness and grace. Care melts away. And then I remember the reason we had to cancel the flights. We were looking forward to our stay in Manhattan this Spring, especially Kate. She spent a whole year living on the Upper West Side in the mid-eighties – studying art and working as a nanny for a pair of divorcing lawyers. She had not yet encountered the man of her dreams (me) and was still in frog-kissing mode: gold-hatted, highbouncing fellows queued up to date her – one of them the son of a famous composer. Everyone in Manhattan is secondhand-famous, and music is in the air. Presidents, too. At a rooftop party at a castle in the sky, one mile high, Ronald Reagan flew past in a helicopter, so close that she could have thrown a canapé right in his twinkly blue eye. She visited her film-star great aunt and, cool chick that she is, hung out in all the cool places. When she talks about that time her eyes mist over. If she hadn’t hooked up with me, I’ve no doubt she would have headed straight back there. I, on the other hand, was only ever in New York for four days. My band got booked to play a punk club there in 1980. On the flight in, one of the road crew dropped acid and had to be physically wrestled onto the bus into town. Within minutes of arriving at the hotel, our saxophone player got into a car with some drunken frat boys and disappeared off the map. We spent much of the next 48 hours touring radio stations in the City and Long Island putting out increasingly anguished appeals for him to get in touch. Which he didn’t, strolling insouciantly into the venue just as our sound check was about to be canceled. As the drummer counted in the first song, it occurred to me that I had forgotten to go to bed at all and was on the point of passing out. We didn’t crack America. Kate and I have been talking about going back to compare our New Yorks ever since we got married. For a while, it looked like this was going to be the year. As we talk about the ill-fated trip now, the sad reason for its cancellation seeps into the conversation like that pall of steam rising off the subway in Taxi Driver. “Will you wear a wig?” “Probably not. Headscarfs.” I picture a beautifully patterned silk headscarf. “I’ll buy you one. Some.” A pause. “We’ll go to New York next year.” “Yes, we will.” ....39....
