Flowers and candles for Jimmy Webb, plus a tribute from Iggy Pop
People have started leaving flowers, candles and other items in memory of Jimmy Webb outside I Need More, the boutique he owned at 75 Orchard St. on the Lower East Side...
Webb, a larger-than-life personality who worked for years at Trash & Vaudeville on St. Mark's Place, died yesterday of cancer. He was 62.
There were many more tributes to him on social media, including from Miley Cyrus, Karen O, Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Alice Cooper and Billie Joe Armstrong. Here's what Iggy Pop had to say...
Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.
However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.
If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
Reading all these loving tributes to a FAB person is tearing me up. Rock In Peace...
