The Kills star, who releases a spoken word album this month, imagines a
New York festival with speakers on every corner – and a resurrected Jimi Hendrix
I would pick
New York City, which works best logistically for what I would like it to look and feel like. I would set up the main stage in
Chelsea or Bowery, a huge area blocked off between buildings and people filling the streets. The idea would be to put PA speakers on every corner of Manhattan Island. On every block, the show would be projected on to the side of buildings, so everyone could see it from their windows or rooftops. Everyone could come: in this fantasy, no one would have to buy tickets and there would be no VIP guest list. There would be no tents, either; everyone could stay in hotels.
