In 1978, George Wright was in New York, staying with a friend on the city’s Lower East Side. “New York in 1978 was still referred to as ‘Fear City’,” Wright recalled. “The NewYork Ripper was still at large and the Son of Sam mass murderer had only recently been apprehended. On every pillar on every subway station platform was scratched the word ‘PRAY’. Comatose bodies littered The Bowery, porn shows were ubiquitous in Times Square and the city was bankrupt.”
