In episode 52 Guy Gonzales reads a story about a strip club he worked in during the 1980s getting raided by the police. He read this piece at the Law and Orderthemed event on June 2, 2011.
From swabbing pools of disgrace to live sex acts on stage, outlaw artist/writer Guy Gonzales repeatedly penetrated the inner sanctums of smut. Though no longer on an intravenous of all-nite theaters, massage parlors, nude clubs and adult peep shows, the noir New Yorker continues to evoke the aesthetic of the broken mirror ball of that forgotten live-wire, the Deuce, the former 42nd Street, circa the 1980’s. Befriended by the brutal Mafia enforcer ‘Tommy Karate’ on a whirlwind of transgression, Guy navigated a gauntlet of undesirables reflecting that displaced period, and survived unscathed. Screw, Hustler, Vibe, The Village Voice, TimeOutNY, and New York Magazine, not to mention A+E Biography all chronicled his unusual experiences with articles and artwork. He is completing a memoir, PEEP MAN/DEUCE42, a gnawing exposition of detachment, on a debauched detour of an unforgettable Times Square.
