I Just Watched “Nelson Takes his Mother to the Top of the World Trade Center in 1986” on YouTube

Nelson Sullivan had over 1900 hours of film that he had taken over several years in New York City. There are less than 200 hours that are online. They are no longer being uploaded. After doing a little research, I found out his mother was born in 1914, which would have made her around 72 when this was taken, depending on her birthday. She died in 2012 at 98 years old. So she outlived Nelson by decades,. That’s...

I’m Watching “New York City rich and poor — the inequality crisis | DW Documentary” on YouTube

About 15 minutes into this documentary, they interviewed two sisters and their dad. The dad said they wish they wouldn’t flaunt their privilege on social media. He continued by saying “that’s their brand” He used the word brand several times. I thought that was interesting… everything is a brand now.. It’s nauseating to hear it so much.. His daughters were very dismissive and disrespectful of their father…. as he told them he didn’t like what they were posting...

I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1914-1919: Shell Shock” on YouTube

The documentary started off on Pier 54 in New York City…. it discussed the departure of the doomed Lusitania, who was sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland in the Celtic Sea. It showed some disturbing images of children who died in the tragedy. I didn’t like it, they should have omitted it in my opinion This was part of a 15 part series that aired in 1999. Peter Jennings narrated. He would die just...

I’m Watching “1988 SPECIAL REPORT: “NYC AIDS ALLEY”” on YouTube

I’m watching a YouTube video about AIDS in NYC… There are talking primarily about drug users contracting the disease. The journalist interviewing seemed to be judgemental and looked down on the people struggling. He interviewed a person who gave away needles…. He argued that it wasn’t the right thing to do…. She replied by reminding him that they are humans…. and they would end up sharing dirty needles which ends up affecting everyone else in the end. It...

I Just Watched “Rupaul Speaks About Nelson Sullivan’s Last Tape” on YouTube

I was just thinking of something rupaul said on her podcast where she talked about Nelson Sullivan. It’s the first time I’ve heard her discuss him.. She said that she didn’t like to think about the past…. She also said she paid $500 a month and lived in his bedroom after he died… it didn’t bother her. I always wondered if Nelson owned or rented the house he and his roommates lived in…. and how things played out...
