Thank you Rick for this remarkable interview with Howard Rodman. He is extremely articulate, and his memories are sharp and clearly detailed, which makes for a credible and interesting witness of this ebullition of creativity that characterizes this particular short and obscure period of Giorgio's extraordinary life. Moreover, I completely agree with Howard's remarks at the end of his interview when he acknowledges the invaluable work that you are doing to revive the flame and keep it alive. When you first started this series of interviews, I was not sure that you would find enough "material" to make this pursuit worth your while, but I'm happy to see that you have proven me wrong as you really are compiling more and more documentary evidence that must be preserved and, in doing so, you have truly become THE expert of this great moment in time and space.
There are others doing more in depth research on No Wave and I'm collaborating with a couple of them. I do feel like an expert on this period in Gomelsky's time and space though, but as you have said before, no one person knows it all about the man. His complexity keeps unfurling for me. Thanks for all the feedback. I have many more questions for you.
Really enjoyed this particular article, Rick. Great work!
Thank you. Peeling away the onion is a lot of fun. So many great people to talk with and more on the way.
