On an empty NYC subway train circa 1997, Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based singer and songster John Wolfington inexplicably decided to switch cars at the 14th Street station. Sitting in the next car, deep into a novel, was Thurston Moore. Coincidentally carrying a tape containing 'Coney Island Freak' — a song that talks about a trip to the freak show and references SY in its lyric — and feeling he had been somehow 'urged' to switch cars, he handed the tape to Thurston, who politely accepted it.
