Gerome Ragni, who I called Gerry, was a regular of mine back in 1982 when I used to bartend with my ex Joe Fontana at a short-lived \u00a0Greenwich Village bar called Village Stix. Gerry used to come in with Rollerena and this bodybuilder friend who was the model for the Bulldog Gym posters (I forget his name). Gerry was a real character and already showing early signs of AIDS-related dementia. We would take long walks through Washington Square Park and he would tell me the same stories of when he was a younger man, writing one of the most seminal musicals in modern rock opera history. I listened to them as if I were hearing them for the first time. I was thrilled to be in his company.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>It\u2019s equinox time.
